Anyone here into firearms?

The GI is very different than the stainless I have, but these are my brief thoughts as typed from my phone.

For me, the Springfield was very picky and the action is comparatively fragile. My idea of a 1911 requires a bit more durability, and if I want something to look pretty i will get a kimber.

I've not had a single FTF with the RIA SS, even after it spent 4 weeks in my pants. Comparatively, the SA would get finicky after 2-3 days of carry.

I shots marginally better with the SA, I think tied mostly to the improved sights, but the guns both shot well in my mind. If the SA was less finicky I'd still have it--it's a great gun and well priced for what it offers. It just didn't have the reliability I wanted.
