Just got one and shot it yesterday. I am much impressed with the quality and reliability of this 1911. I shot ball and some high quality hollow points, all in 230 gr.
I do wonder about one thing, not that it should impact me at this later time in life. The original 1911's would shoot in almost any conditions of mud and muck. They were accurate enough at close ranges where such combat takes place. Today's 1911's are mostly touted as being very accurate but I think that comes with the loss of reliability in adverse conditions. I personally see no use in a 1911 at fires one inch groups at 50 yards. I do see a use for a weapon that works in all conditions though.
My new SR-1911 is fitted tight and I wonder who it will work when muddy. Since it is stainless I just might try that out sometime. But I do really like this firearm.
