Any reviews on the Inland "1911 A1 Government"?

That's not true. Armscor/Rock Island/et al. have an incorrectly shaped trigger guard that's obvious to anyone who's really looking.
Auto Ord guns used to have an issue with the slide stop overhanging the edge of the frame that has since been fixed.
If you want a gun that really looks like a WWII M1911A1, there are compromises that you have to accept.
The Inland, and newer A/Os are about as accurate as you will find in a new gun.

If you are going to be that picky, then you should buy a real Colt, or even better, a US property 1911/1911-A1. In the end unless you are super anal, most will never know the difference in just how accurate a reproduction they are. Nor will you, unless you are the type to obsess about it.

Several years ago I picked up a RIA GI 1911 and for the money, it has been a stellar pistol. The only thing I did was to put a set of diamond walnut grip panels on it and it looks pretty darn close. Yes the serrations are slightly different and the ejection port is of a more modern design. But, no matter how exact a repop is, it is still just a repop.

Even the modern Colt Government models have a different ejection port.

The topic of this thread isn't "what's a stellar 1911?", but the Inland M1911A1 "clone".
There are many, many quality 1911s on the market that make no claim to being any sort of replica of the original military pistols, and the ways in which those vary from originals is often of little importance.
Someone who's interested in a "clone" is probably interested in historical accuracy, though I admit to inferring that.
