I've shot one real nice pistola and the guy hasn't had any issues with it. Just sent it to his dad, because he got a Wesson.

I'll vote the other way, almost. I love Springfields, just don't care much for SS 1911's. I'm a sucker for parkerized.

Any Springfield Loaded Model is the best dollar for dollar 1911 value that exists. When I buy I include cost, slide/frame machining, and customer service as top assets. I have a safe full of them. My one "problem" Springfield 1911.....an 1991 year Champion, had the frame cut too deep when the pistol was manufactured. I bought it in 2012. Springfield paid the shipping, diagnosed it(as did Dave), and replaced the slide with a brand new one for free. Customer service counts for everything now, and Springfield wins that race by a mile......Buy it.....but it is stainless, if scratches make you cry buy handkerchiefs also.

Sorry, I've got 2 RO's and love them. Have to admit I don't care for S/S however. But an RO is an RO, go for it.

I would by the RO in a heartbeat. I've heard nothing but praises for it and I personally love the looks of it.

Question for those in the know, the RO is comparable to what kind of 1911 in Springfield's line up of 1911s? Champion, Mil-Spec, Loaded, TRP?
