I want American made, that's why I'm not considering Springfield.I don't want used, I rarely buy used guns. It's just between Colt and Ruger.
I don't know I would base my purchase of anything on where it was made. Nothing wrong with buying American made whenever possible. I have been buying Ford trucks for alomost 4 decades, they were all made in Canada.
Besides, Springfield Armory has always had a presence here as an American company.
Can someone elaborate between forged and cast frames, and which one is which, I mean Colt is which and Ruger is which? That comment got my intention.
Colts cost more because most of their parts are good quality.
Cast frames aren't bad as long as their done correctly. Caspian is known for producing quality frames for custom builds.
It will be interesting down the road to see where the SR1911 falls into place on the 1911 ladder.
