Ever since the SR1911 was introduced, I've thought I wanted one. I like the way the look, the features, the price... But- I've handled quite a few of them in stores, and I don't know that I've ever found one that had a trigger that I liked. They don't have "bad" triggers. No, not even close to bad. But just not the clean, crisp breaking trigger I would like.
I was doing some window shopping today, and tried out a few other 1911's. A Kimber Custom TLE II had a REALLY good trigger- but for just under $1,000. In the SR1911's price range, a Springfield Range Officer was on sale. I tried the trigger, and it was almost (but not quite) as good as the one on the Kimber.
As much as I would like to get a Ruger 1911, for just a little bit more the RO seems better. If I were to buy the Ruger, I think I'd have to do something with the trigger. Not sure what, but something.
