I bought one about 6 months ago and really like it. Used it last hunting season as my sidearm. I also have an SR9c which I liked so much, it made me go and get the SR45. It feels very similar, shoots very accurately, and I've had no problems shooting a variety of factory loads and buffalo bore hard casts through it. It's a very reliable and comfortable gun to shoot. While it's not as heavy as most 1911's, it is a solid gun and reminds you it is polymer framed when you shoot it compared to a steel 1911 government model. We shot a kimber 1911 and my SR45 last weekend, but I'd say the Kimber was a little more pleasant to shoot due to the extra weight. If you like your SR9c, you will like your SR45 just as much. I'm still shocked when I think about how inexpensive it was compared to similar polymer pistols. If they made an SR45c, I would have gotten that instead of my HK USP .45 compact.
