I would also reccomend the SA. I was fortunate to land a Colt 1991-A1 Series 80 last year, but there was a SA sitting right next to it. I snagged the Colt simply because they are no longer in civilain production. I payed like $549 for mine, USED, but still feel it is a good buy, as the gun has not let me down yet, and has never failed to fire. A wonderful piece of machinery in my opinion. Next on my list will be a PA 1911 style with the 3" bbl and the 6 shot clip vs the standard 7.
