Thank you, gentlemen. Good info.

I like what I see; 1911 Gov model for around $450 out-the-door. Kind of hard to turn that down. Surely there are "better" (higher end) makes, but I think this will be a good tool to familiarize my son with the 1911.

I have two .45's: a 1911 Tactical, and the compact model. I'm very pleased with both, completely trouble free. I shoot the full size all the time.

The stock grips blow. I put some traditional walnut double diamond checkereds on the full size, and a wrap around Hogue on the compact.

At the risk of being heretical, I think of 1911's as a commodity gun. I have the two RI's as commodity 1911's, and a Colt O 1918 WW 1 replica for a "real" 1911. These are my only points of reference, FWIW.
