Thanks Bart. There are lots of nice 1911's out there but none at the price point of the SR1911.

Congrats!
I picked up my SR1911 this past Sat too.
My first 1911 in .45ACP! Did a basic field strip, cleaned and oiled. Only fired 100 rnds of Fed Champions FMJ through it so far and had 2 Failure to feeds. Both fails were loading the first round in and both from the same included 8rnd mag.
At first I thought it was me weak racking the slide back (I still think this was the case) and the second was when I just hit the slide release to load the first rnd. The issues only happened within the first 20-40 rnds. My next box of 50 went through much too quickly, and without a hitch.

I do have plan C just in case

I hope that every thread I create ends with an irrelevant sidebar about the theories of "knockdown power". I hope that the opposing arguments are carried into cyber battle valiantly by brave internet knights who deftly wield their knowledge of '9mm vs .45' .
Knowledge.... hard won knowledge... that which can only be sought from the great halls of gun wisdom.. (I.e. gun shows, gun magazines, the internet, cable tv shows, your Uncle or buddy who used to be a cop somewhere, etc)
Meanwhile, back in the real world, people will carry 9mm's, .45's, and a host of other calibers into real life harm's way (Not the Xbox live version) and all of these calibers will perform as well or as badly as the person wielding them. I would fear a capable, trained, motivated enemy armed with (insert any caliber/weapon here) far more than some internet bloviator and his >.02 opinion which is usually based on a stack of S.W.A.T. magazines piled in his sh*tter.
OK... so where were we?Comment

we left off where everyone was admiring your new purchase!
Let me say....that if you EVER decide to sell this, can I be first on the list to PPT? This is at the top of my list to purchase but of course I can't since I am just a regular ol civilian!Comment

Soul_Cal,
Those grips look great, especially with the factory logo. I am pretty partial to the cocobolos that mine came with, esp since they are getting ambi-cut at the GS.Comment

It's a good thing I love this pistol so much, lest I be tempted to flip it via PPT at a gougingly high price, dishonoring myself to Calgunners everywhere!Comment

looks awesome!"The gun has played a critical role in history...an invention that has been both praised and denounced...served hero and villain alike...and carries with it moral responsibility. To better understand the gun is to better understand history."Comment
