What happened to Golden Saber? It used to be what Springfield recommended for their Milspecs. Talking to them today, now they recommend Federal Ball.

Leads to the question what are folks carrying in 1911 mil specs.

Golden Saber .45 ACP is listed in stock at Lucky Gunner and Sportsman`s Guide.
It`s supposed to be a pretty solid round. FBI used to issue it for the SWAT/ HRT 1911's if I recall correctly. I've only used the .357 magnum 125 grain load. It was pretty effective on a large breed dog (pitbull) with a body shot.
I don't know about low tech, because .45 hollow point is going to punch a big hole.
I guess that I`m old school because I carry Federal Hydro Shok rounds in my .45 pistols.
Like every erstwhile wunderslug, it was a death ray, until this month's new flavor came out, at which time it became fit only for defense against chipmunks.
Does it matter what SA recommends? Has anyone ever asked a manufacturer what they recommend? Has anyone asked what Beretta, Sig, HK, Glock recommends?

The terminal ballistics between modern JHP in typical duty loads is minimal which is why 9mm has made the comeback it has. Bullet tech has progressed a great deal even since Saber and Hydro Shok were developed. If one has a 1911 so picky it will only run Sabers and FMJ, I wouldn't ever own one personally. My 1911s ran well on just about everything I fed them within reason, and I ccwed Gold Dots when I ccwd 1911s. My mil spec Colt ran great also. Your mileage may vary.

There's a dozen other options. You don't even know why they recommend it! Could be lawyer talk for all you know.
What if it doesn't work with Golden Sabers but works with Gold Dots or HST?
This is the only time I ever heard of someone asking a modern manufacturer what they recommend.
Honestly, I don't think anyone here carries millspec 1911s.
