I'll be getting my first 1911 soon!
I was going to get a Springfield "Loaded Pistol" but I decided to get the Smith & Wesson SW1911! Here it is, what do you think ?

RE: I'll be getting my first 1911 soon!
I like the looks of the S&W 1911. I am just to hard headed to buy one. IMHO S&W sold out gun owners & I can not get over that.
I like the Springfield Trophy Match that Rebel Hog posted. I also like Kimber Match pistols.
I myself own a Springfield-XD 40-S&W.
I am looking for a 45 in Springfield match or Kimber match?

As a gunsmith who specializes in the Colt 1911 pistols, I would advise against the Smith and Wesson clone. Poor excuse for a good one - like Kimber, Springfield, Colt, STI, etc. And not all that good a value for the money either.

Roskoe, I'm not a gunsmith and would like your Pros and Cons from the
ones you mention. Why you would consider the Colt over the others?
Give me a selling point as if you were selling me a Colt in your shop.
Not being Smart, I came in your shop and asked to see a Springfield
Trophy Match, now convince me why I should buy the Colt.
Buy the way I have been a Safe & Bank Vault technician for 30yrs and
know all about metals,steel,drills bits,taps&dies and machine shop equipment.

I gotta agree, Colt Kimber or SA.
Here's my SA loaded model, a sweet little gun.
