Lets dispel all the "1911s are only supposed to be 45ACP" and the "Get a Glock" stuff....I multiples of both. I am not interested in any striker action guns as I prefer the crisp trigger of SA guns.
This is specifically going to be a target gun for steel or other practical style matches. I have been shooting some wheel gun division stuff over the past few years and there are some other matches offered that line up with my schedule a little better.
Without getting into 4-5k for a full custom STI Nighthawk, Wilson, or other equivalent, I am looking for something to focus on running a fairly high number of rounds through and appreciate the cost and recoil savings of 9mm as opposed to 45. I am looking at the following: Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander, Sig Sauer 1911 Match Elite, Smith & Wesson SW1911 Pro Series, and Springfield Armory Range Officer Operator. Also tossing around a Rock Island offering as well. Admittedly, I am a huge Ruger and Smith fan but mainly because of my affinity for their wheel guns. That being said, the Smith seems to fit "me" the best, followed by the Springfield. No discernible difference in the the targets downrange.
Anybody have significant time behind any of these? Comments, thoughts, concerns?
