I have one of the Springfield 1911A1s and it is a nice pistol. As "trigger643" stated, it is not a tack driver out of the box, but a military type pistol.

Another 1919A1 that cought my attention is the Rock Island. This pistol was/is for sale thru SARCO for just under $300. I bought one from a friend in unfired condition and was I impressed! For the money, it is one heck of a buy. The accuracy is equal to the US Military 1919A1. I also have read nothing but good reports on the pistol too. This is just another to consider for a plinking .45 ACP pistol. At least the price is decent enough for not having to worry about those scratches, and dings from using the pistol. Mine also shoots hollow points just fine, but I have heard that some don't like them that much. All this pistol needs out of the box is to clean it real good, lubricate and shoot. I did polish the feed ramp on mine for the heck of it to make sure the hollow points feed OK. Check it out on SARCO's website.
