I've had my SR1911 Target Model for 2 or 3 months now, and can state some conclusions about it. To go straight to the point, I like it a lot. In no particular order, here are some of the things I like best:
1. The price. About the only major manufacturer's offering that competes with it is the SA Range Officer, and it's usually about $100 more.
2. Value. You get a LOT for your money.
3. Build quality/fit and finish. No, not Dan Wesson, but really good for a <$1,000 gun.
4. Performance. It is accurate and reliable. Those two things are probably most important.
5. Trigger. Surprisingly good. Had a bit of creep and grit when new, but it has smoothed out really well with use.
I bought the Target Model for the adjustable Bomar style rear sight. I really like the sights on my gun. Also, the grips that come on the Target Model look better in person than in pictures, and provide excellent traction for gripping the gun.
Now, if it would only learn to pick up its own brass...
