Default Remington,Ruger,Smith and Wesson
I would appreciate the experiences and opinions of you good folks on here concerning Remington, Ruger, and Smith and Wesson 1911s. I have my feelings on the subject to want to hear from others. Thanks ahead of time.

No experience but, I have always wanted a Ruger since they came out in the 1911 line. The Smiths are nice looking as well. Subbed for others experiences as well.

I've shot both full size and commander size Rugers and they were great shooters! eventually i'm going to get one of the commanders.

I almost got a ruger but the mags are different or were they are not a standard 1911 so for that reason alone I passed. My FIL has one and runs well. Didn't care fror the Rem...the smiths have imo have one of the best factory triggers you can find, very nice.

That's interesting. I'm a longtime S&W loyalist. My AR is an M&P. Would the nice trigger make considering the S&W against a Colt in the Commander size worth doing? Any other pros or cons specific to those two brands?

For what it is worth. S&W has mim parts. Colt does not.

Does not surprise me Ruger would do that.

really? I was using my colt magazines when I shot the Rugers, they seemed like a standard 1911 to me.
