I gotta' say, I wanted to see what 1911's are all about...BUT before spending over $1000 for a "nice" one I bought an RIA 9 mm 5"..for $470...(least expensive one)
I guess all the all steel ones weigh about the same and I wasn't sure what that would be like since most of my other 9's are compacts.
I was very surprised at the fit, finish and trigger for this "cheap" gun...fantastic, and it is (to me) more accurate that any of my other 9's...HK included.
It did have some "feeding" problems at first, but at 500 rounds now it's fine...
I just saved $600, this has become my FAVORITE range gun.
