Well, we'll try again. Your "preference" is just that, and we have no argument. To go on; however, and say that your preference is the one that will stand up to your intended purpose, is to imply that others will not.
We know that a cast Ruger Bisley, can be made into a pretty awesome magnum, whereas a forged Colt SAA cannot compete, strength wise.
As for buying what we want, I couldn't agree more. My series 70 1911 Gold Cup is a wonderful piece that served well for several years and thousands of rounds in competition. Not all my "Colt" 1911s have been trouble free. Some broke. Some didn't work perfectly from the factory. Though they are normally wonderful guns, they are not; however, worth the prices demanded, based on the Colt name alone, except to those for whom "Name" alone is paramount.
