I think satisfied is a better word overall than happy. It works, it is reliable, the trigger is as heavy as it should be for a defensive pistol--I am not a fan of 2 and 3 pound trigger pulls on single action pistols being carried for self defense. I would put this one around 5 pounds. For the price I was afraid it would be a POS. It is not. The finish, fit, and accuracy is not on par with a Kimber, Springfield, STI, but it is half the price. I wish it had night sights, but again, your not going to find them on a sub-$500.00 1911.
