This is sorta what I find strange about the 1911 and avoided them for a long time (until 4 years ago). Always read about getting a $750 new colt, shipping it off to a smith or 3, waiting 12-18 months, spending an extra $1-1.5k, and finally getting a pistol that works and is accurate for combat ranges.

But then I spent $375 on a RIA GI style 1911 and some good 8rnd mags. Keeps them on a small pie plate at 25 yards, eats everything I've tried, and other than 4 jams in the first 100 rounds it has been dead nutz reliable.

So what does one get with the extra $$? for that kind of investment I'd get 2 of the RIAs and a metric buttload of ammo ...
