Here's my new gun I got Saturday.
Springer 1911 "Loaded". They had aTRP right next to it and there was definitely a difference in craftsmanship between the two. I really wanted the TRP but that was another $600 at $1400.
The fit and finish is pretty good and the slide is pretty tight and smooth. It's a Brazil gun unfortunately but it should be fine. Not as tight and smooth as the TRP but it appears to be pretty good. It's my first 1911 and I will learn to shoot it well and I will have room to upgrade. Hope to shoot it tonight. Probably be pretty embarrassing since I've never shot a 1911 45acp before.
Thanks for the advice, it seems SA are well respected by most of you. There were very few SA 1911's in Fort Worth. Everybody had the TRP's, Mil Spec, and GI's but I only found 2 "Loadeds" in shops at Fort Worth.
