Re: Looking for advice on buying a new 1911

I have a Colt and a SA, both government models. The Colt is stainless and the SA is parkerized. I like the parkerized, and I don't mind if it shows wear. They both shoot well, but I prefer the Springfield. From everything I have heard, Springfield Armory has great customer service and warranty. I have never had to use their services so I cannot make a personal comment about them. By the same token, I never had to contact Colt either.

My personal opinion = SA

Buy the Colt later.

BTW, welcome. :cheers2:
