I've owned a dozen Colts over the last 50 years, and still have 6, plus two Ruger SR1911's (the 5" full size, and its mate, the CMD).

Out of the box, the Rugers are hands down the best .45's I've owned. Good features, with no mall ninja crap, great accuracy, decent triggers and solid customer service to back them up.

Both have been 100% reliable right out of the box, with no, "you gotta shoot 200 rounds to break it in, 'cause we fit them so tightly", BS. Rugers are the best value for the money of any current 1911 on the market, and you can find them for $650 to $700...

The first pic's of the first magazine through my then new SR1911 CMD. It's a keeper for sure. The 2nd's of the full size 5" model on day one...both have only improved since then...great pistols...you can't do better in my opinion.
