    Thanks for the clarification. It's helpful to know when input is based on actual experience with a widget, so the information and opinion can be weighed appropriately.

    I walked into my LGS about 6 months ago and they had an SA Range Officer on the shelf that followed me home when I talked the owner down to $729. I was impressed with the barrel to slide lockup and the trigger. I have about 2000 rounds through it so far without any failures using Wilson ETM magazines. It's a very accurate pistol when I do my part and a joy to shoot. I bought it with the intention of doing some upgrades but I like it so much I have left it stock.

    I have one and like it a lot.
    Accurate and dependable with every type of ammo I've put through it.

    They are a good production 1911 for the price. SA has some of the best CS and you will not be disappointed. I own a Loaded model with a SA magwell and it likes Wilson ETM mags.

    I have about 2K through mine, I had a 3 or 4 last round FTE in the first 300 rounds, I tightened the extractor a bit and it's run steady since. I'm using CMC 8 round Power Mags.

    Based on my experience with a SA 1911, I'd prefer they get a reputation for quality control and excellence with their handguns, rather than "great customer service." Had to send mine in, twice, but yes..very nice people in CS.

    I've had one for about 2 years & it's functioned flawlessly with any of my 230gr range or carry reloads, & with all my Wilson or Chip Mc mags. It has good fit/finish for the price & is more accurate than me. The only changes I made were a set of VZ grips & a Dawson Precision tritium front sight.

    I love my RO. Although it's only got about 1k rounds through it, it's been trouble free after a few teething issues when it was new. It's very accurate and making long/low probability shots is much easier for me than with my other pistols (HK/Glock). The finish is so-so and is showing some wear on my particular pistol. It's not a big deal though and I happen to like the look of honest wear on a gun. The only other complaint I have is that the thumb and grip safety could be fit to the frame a little better. The rear of the thumb safety is sharp and can be irritating after awhile and the grip safety just isn't blended into the frame as well as I would like. The trigger in stock form is actually pretty good. It's light, crisp and almost identical to my friend's LW Operator. The only modifications that I've done to my pistol is to add a set of VZ grips. I do plan to ditch the adjustable rear sight for a plain black Harrison U-notch sight soon though. For the money, I am very happy with my RO and will keep it around for the long haul.

    I thought about it but when I add the initial price of the R.O. plus all the custom work I want done to it the total comes close to the Les Baer Premier II. The PII comes already how I want it, with the exception of a magwell.
    May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't.
