Got a few officer and defender size 1911's.
Personally I really like them especially for a tote 1911, short, lighter, and more compact?
Generally IF I am carrying a 1911 its either my Springer Officers alloy frame or a steel framed ATI Titan (defender size.)
both weapons are very reliable, accurate and easy to tote.
I did own a Colt Stainless officers model many years ago that no one could get to run 100% even on FMJ's. but that was a long time ago.
I find that as long as you keep up with recoil spring changes they seem to run fine for me, that's one thing about them they do go through a lot of recoil springs and pretty fast.
