I have had a Para P12 since '92, and I wanted to add a full size .45 to my collection. I did a lot of reading, as I wanted a good "base" to build from. After every reading a particular article by a gunsmith out of Nebraska, I chose the SR1911. And....I love Ruger.
I picked up my pistol, and it went straight to my gunsmith. Everything I buy goes from dealer to him. Here's what I had him do:
-Complete action job
-Trigger breaks at 4lbs
-Re-cut hammer/sear, checked on scope
-Polish breech face
-Widen/polish feed ramp
-Polish bore
-New STI stainless firing pin
-Reset gap
-New STI extractor
-New Wolff springs
-Crown cut @ 45 degrees
-Jeweled trigger, hammer, bushing face
-Tritium 3 dot night sites
-Full final clean and lube
At the range, it shot very well. It grouped tightly at center mass @ 15 yards, and could stay inside the 10 ring at 25 yards resting.
I feel I've made a great choice, in part to a lot of your posts here.
This will become my EDC once my http://www.rdwarrenleather.com/gallery.html holster and magazine pouch arrives.
I simply love my Rugers. One day I'll post at my SP101 4" .357...
