I have a stainless 1911 Springfield full size, a Colt Commander, a Colt Defender, and a Kimber ultra CDP ii, I have done a little minor work to them, triggers and sights, grips, but all that's personal preference, I would put the operational abilitys of those guns against any of the high dollar jobs, and the accuracy difference is so slight 95% of the guys shooting would never see it, and it sure as hell is not a $2000 dollar difference..........that all being said, if I had 3 or 4 grand that I had absolutely no use for, LOL I would have one,
