I have a SR1911, and like it a lot. I can't compare it to others, because I never handled/shot any other 1911 until i purchased the Ruger SR1911. The fit and finish is nice, commenting on what Condition 1 said - mine does rattle a tad. But yea, all in all, the grip, balance of the firearm, the sights, everything is good. I don't regret the purchase! Really my only complaint is Ruger don't offer it in Blue..lol Any questions, feel free to ask me, I'll do my best to answer.
