I don't own any of what you would call high $$$ 1911's but the three I do own all run good and hammer the 8" and 6" 25 yd. gongs consistently (depending on my coffee intake) which is all I expect of them for a fun hour or so at the range.....I rotate taking one to the range once or twice a week and run 100 rounds of my 230 gr. FMJ ball ammo through them each trip.
No real favorite between the three.......all three are stainless, 5" and chambered in 45ACP.
