Keep in mind the overall reputation of the maker. Yours is a sample of ONE.
The vast majority of Ruger's 1911's have been very good pistols. Ruger generally doesn't make crap. And truth be told, a lot of "other" 1911's out there are actually made inside the Ruger facility.

I paid over $600 for it, and I expected it to have the accuracy of a target pistol which it isn't. That one wouldn't group, but others might. I really like most Ruger firearms. Quality at a fair price. Also good customer service in my experience. At 15 yds best it could get was a group of 3-4" .
