I agree with having ramped barrels, the major drawback being expense. Unless you buy a base gun with a ramped barrel, like a Kimber Stainless Target II, one then has to have a very competent smith mill the frame. Then price ramped vs. non-ramped barrels...

I have not found any major drawbacks to non-ramped 1911s...ramped is nice but expensive.
