Ok i'll put my .02 in and as I only own 1 1911 and it is only going to be what I have read. Some of the high end 45 are set up to tight. Tight slides and tight bushings aren't sometimes the answer for a person. A person can buy that high dollar race gun and have it fail because it is just to tight. And in MHO most shooters aren't good enough to shoot them any better than a lower to middle of the range priced gun. I will put my Spring Field up aginst anyones 2 to whetever thousand dollar gun for how tight a group it will shoot.
The only thing it has had done is a Colt hammer and sear put in it because the gunsmith said they were harder and the trigger job would last longer. It also has a extended slide release and long trigger.
I bought it stock 20 something years ago before they were putting out 1911 like they are now with that stuff already in and at a price a person can afford. And not have a 12 lb trigger pull.
This is not a jab at anyone, A high dollar crazy priced gun won't make you a better shot. Kind of like that cuttie pie woman. She looks good when you are out with her but she sure is a bitch to live with and you wish she weren't such high maintance.
