Hey folks,
I was all set to buy a Springfield Armory Loaded. It says made in Brazil on it, and all of a sudden, I got cold feet. What's the difference in quality between a Brazilian made Springfield 1911 style gun and a Brazilian made Taurus?
Not being a wise guy, but geez, I don't know. I'm kind of leaning toward the Ruger SR 1911. After reading someone's technical explanation of cast frames vs. forged frames, I could care less if a 1911 has a cast frame. Plus, I don't really like the ambi safety of the Loaded.
But back to my original question, is the Springer really any better or worse than a Taurus?
I have two other Ruger handguns and two Ruger rifles and have no problem with their quality.
For the price, it's looking like the Ruger is also a better deal. I also have a Kimber Pro TLE and a colt Commander, so this isn't my first 1911 style gun.
Any comments are appreciated, and thank you in advance.
