My co-worker owns a CMD SR1911 and I shot it this past Monday. Felt great in the hand and was very smooth... I remember saying that to him.. "This thing is smooth".
He loves the thing. But, he said that if he was to buy one today, he would track down the Talo black Nitride finished model. He told me that the finish on the Ruger gets dirty quick and he also had some rusting problems on the stainless finish and controls (his other guns in the same safe had no issue). I don't know if it was a problem with his particular Ruger, or if it is a common problem... just putting it out there. He did send it back and they cleaned it up and replaced all the rusted controls and had it back to him in a little over a week.
This is the one he said he would buy today (even at an upcharge).
