The lowered ejection port is only important if you save your brass for reloading.
Less chance of denting the mouth.
Although that's not really a big deal, as the resizing die fixes it.
The full length rod is not important at all.
A good 1911 runs either way, full length rod or no.
Hope I didn't make you feel badly, not being able to afford a Wilson.
I can't either.
It was mentioned just as an example.
Besides, Mrs. Wilson was on a recent podcast and said there was well over a year wait, on some of their guns.
My preference is for the Springfields.
Good guns, good prices, good service.
They have some models, with plenty of goodies, for way less than a grand.
