I don't have a lot of experience with 1911s, but I have shot a friend's Colt and another's Kimber. I've had my Ruger for about 8 months and I'd put it up against either one of them any time. It feels good in my hand, never had an issue with ammo, and seems to be pretty accurate. This target was shot @ 20 yards for the online contest earlier this year:
I heard that ruger sr1911 have the barrel made out of the same block as the barrel bushing making them very accurate. Also no firing pin block safety so can't wait to get mine either.

That's awesome for 60 feet.
My brother-in-law bought one and soon after sold his older Springfield. Up until he got the Ruger to the range , he was a Springfield man all the way.
I've had Kimber & Springfields to date.. I picked up an SR1911 a couple weeks ago and shot it today.. I was very pleased with the gun.. Great groups.. Tight feel and a very clean trigger break.. For the price point it's hard to go wrong with the SR1911 or a Range Officer.. I have both and have similar opinions of each of them.. The differences to me are more cosmetic preferences than anything else..
I just bought one on Gun Broker for $634.95 NIB with $19 shipping. I'm kind of nervous, way to good of a deal!
thanks guys
