Where are all the Colt made in America fanboys? Or Colt the original fanboys?
Me personally, I'm a Springfield is Series 70 fanboy. So Springer for me.

SA LoadedComment

Worst gun I ever bought was a Springfield, total **** piece.
Colt is the way to go. Way less MIM and no Brazilian made parts or guns. The only downside is the UAW

Happy with my SA Loaded in SS (NM #). Has a few sharp edges as well I could do without. Replaced the stupid two-piece guide rod right away. Accurate and dependable with a great warranty in case something ever goes wrong. Might have bought an XSE instead at the time if I could have found one.NRA & CRPA member

You have a Baer & you have an itch for a Colt or SA...
...I'd see a doctor about that itch. That ain't right.
I'd probably look for whichever make had the combo of features I wanted."He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

How did you like the Ruger SR1911? I know you don't have it now, but I'm curious about this gun, and I'm wondering what you thought if it.Comment

I currently own a Colt XSE and owned a Springfield before.
Side by side, I would pick Springfield.
I kept my Colt XSE to have some work done to it and I wanted that work done on a Colt. I did not keep my Springfield, well, because I have better guns than it and did not see the need to keep it.
Side note:
Actually, you have a Les Baer SRP... Oh boy, might you just want to save that $1,000 or so (assuming that's your budget) and get something up to par or better than your Baer? Even if you want a beater 1911, the Baer is a really good 1911 for hard use. No need to get a Colt XSE or a Springfield Loaded. You might end up getting rid of either one and losing money.
Satisfy your itch by renting those guns instead and shooting them side by side with you Les Baer SRP. Then, after 16 or so rounds, you will shake your head and say "What the hell am I thinking?"

I would go SA. I own two Colts. I had to have the magazine releases worked on - they were sticking on magazines. Also, no night sights. SA loaded comes with night sights and beavertail safety.
Regarding SA warranty, I've used it for my EMP. Service was outstanding and I didn't pay a dime.Comment

I have both the Colt xse and springfield loaded target and the colt definitely wins when it comes to fit and finish. I also like the thumb safety on the Colt better its not as sharp as SpringfieldsComment
