My first impression was the RO elite target seemed like a good bet.
It would be his first-ever gun and I'll be mentoring him.
I want his experience to be as trouble free as possible.
What, Me Worry?

I have the Springfield Range Officer Elite Target in 9mm with some factory tweaks, bought it at a competition last year.  Shoots and functions good.  I can't compare it to other 1911's cause it was my first one.

Had the trigger adjusted to 4# to shoot CMP matches.

These are the mods I got on mine for PPC and CMP:

I’ve shot the SA RO and as mentioned above, it’s  :thumbsup:

If I were in the market for a 1911, I’d be looking at SA first. Actually have been eyeballing a WC, but doesn’t seem realistic in the near future.

I’ve also shot the Ruger 1911. To me it was ok. Just ok. But I’m also comparing against more expensive guns.

As an aside, I’ve also been debating getting a beater 1911. Maybe a RIA 1911.
