If the Springfield Professional model and the Colt USMC pistol went head to head with each other, which do you think would outshoot the other? I know both of these beauties went through quite a bit of testing before being selected for the individuals who carry them. Also, any information on the tests (aside from accuracy) these guns went through would be appreciated. Thanks

Springfield Professional; SACS >>>>>>>>>> Colt Custom Shop imho. Plus I'm not a fan of front cocking serrations when I can avoid them."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
"What we get away with isn't usually the same as what's good for us"
"An extended slide stop is the second most useless part you can put on a 1911"
"While Ruger DA revolvers may be built like a tank, they have the aesthetics of one also,
although I suppose there are a few tanks which I owe an apology to for that remark" -
Vote goes towards SA... Then again I'm partial to SA bec of their outstanding CS."get that evil thing out of the house"

Springfield Professional. Its not even a comparison.Comment

At the 2012 shot show the SA professional was hands down the best 1911 i felt as far as fit. The slide felt like it was on ball bearings.sigpicThe very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference-they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George WashingtonComment

They are both just OK. If you want to trade up, I have a Glock 34 available.

I wish I owned both to give you my assessment. But if I were to guess, I would pick SA ProOne Way to Post Pics ********** How to Submit an iTrader Rating That Counts ********** Brass for Sale

The Colt is just a standard production 1911 with a pretty picture of a horse that adds about $500 to the price tag. The SA is hand fitted by some fellas who know a thing or two about making 1911s and it uses top-notch parts. The two aren't even in the same class. The Colt is a production and the SA is a semi-custom. The only bad thing I can say is that the front strap checkering on the SA is very aggressive 20 lpi and designed to be used with gloves, which is uncomfortable to me during long range sessions.
Here is the totally awesome Colt that everyone loves.

SA PRO w/Nowlin Barrel, is in it's own league in my book. Plus I like no FCS.
Here is a great article on the SA PRO, you'll want one after you read it.

A more apples to apples comparison would be the Springfield MC Operator / Colt USMC. The Springfield Pro is in a completely different category."Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." B.Franklin,1759Comment

SA Professional wins hands down in that comparison.
1. The SACS has a better reputation than the Colt CS for building a quality gun.
2. The finish on the Pro is better than that on the M45
As poster earlier, a comparison between the MC Operator and the M45 would be a better one...because the journey is the worthier part...The Shepherd's TaleComment
