If I was dumb enough to want a 1911 I'd get Springfield's Ronin.
Why that model?
MM
The newer Springfields I've been around ran really well and it comes in 9mm and it doesn't have a rail and it's about the limit I'd pay for a 1911 that I wanted to shoot a bunch.
Uh-huh.................that model is no better or worse than a dozen other current production 1911's. But it is good. And I like it. But it's not "better".
YMMV

I never claimed it was better.
I was telling my friend which one I would buy.
