I already answered this question in the Les Baer thread.

The "fit and finish" are where the quality really shines through and it is very noticeable. Hand fitting does wonders for the 1911 platform.

Not saying that production level 1911's won't work and work well, they just don't have the feel as the semi-custom and higher tier 1911's.
If you think that a Ruger is "just as good" as a semi-custom 1911 then you are mistaken.
