Well I did all my research and comparisons and had 95% decided on a Springfield Armory loaded parkerized. Then I bought the latest issue of Combat Handguns magazine and the have a feature article in it on the exact gun I was planning to buy. I am so dissapointed and confused now. The recoil rod is a two piece design that screws in with a hex head and it came loose twice during their testing. Also the grip screws which are torx heads kept loosening up during testing........ My big question is this, Is there any 1911 out there that is worth a crap? Now I'm considering the S&W 1911, what do you all think? Please help.......
