I saw them and was like holy cow. If I spend more than $2K on a 1911, I won't want to take skill builders with it or put her in the dirt.  So that's my reasoning for the SIG/Colt.

On a side note, who sells 45 FMJ?  And what were precovid prices?

SEC had plenty, if you are on the list.  i think was 2 case limit
pre covid was around $400 per case of 1k, iirc.  or around $18-23 per box of 50 rds on sale

I still would like a nice SA 1911.  Last time I checked (prob 2+ years ago), the models I was interested were in the $1600-1800 range.  I mean I'd still want a Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, or something along those lines.  But no enough money for those and new bolt gun.  :(

I have some .45 ACP FMJ.  Like buy?  You have PayPal?  :hmm:

That's not bad.  I might have to hit them up.

I'm super satisfied with my SA Loaded Operator.  its almost a TRP minus the full length guide rod and few other extras that i thought was not worth the extra coin. 
my Loaded Operator has around 500 rounds through it, not one malfunction, not one hiccup.  trigger is really nice, short crisp, i think its around 4 lbs pull and a short pull
Loaded Operator is in the $1300 range

Nice!

Yeah, Loaded Operator and a few others were on my list.  The TRP was on there are one time, but I think there are others that have better overall value.  That and I wanted different sites.  A buddy has a Trophy Match.  That's a pretty sweet gun, but looks like out of current production. 

I would still like to shoot either of my basic 1911s in a match or pistol class.  I would want to change the front sights at minimum though.  The 9 mm version has plain/black front and rear.  I'd want to put a FO front sight, or something more than the plain blade.

Safariland replied, their SIG 1911 GSR holster works for the Emperor Scorpion Full Size. So that will be my 1st draft choice due to the cost and I can run a TLR-1HL which is half the price of a X300 for a M45A1.

Koffin Wurks is looking up the details for me and I'll keep everyone posted.  Thanks for all the input. This was a big learning XP.  Now the question is, do I begin to order mags and ammo since I'm gonna need it anyways.  I will hold of on the holster and WML in case the SIG is unavailable and I have to get the Colt.

Both not in stock. Koffin is awaiting ETA. I could go else where, but i want to support their new store. And have spent enough in others already. Spreading the wealth.

Did some calling around and for either the scorpion or m45a1 would be about a year wait from authorized dealers here.
