New to the 1911 world. Started with a parkerized Springfield Mil Spec which is a fantastic handgun. The build quality is very solid with not a single rattle or other loose component.

Wanted another 1911 with a stainless finish but not too flashy, for a reasonable price. Got a great deal on a Ruger SR1911 Full Size, after reading/watching many really good reviews.

Ordered online, shipped it to the FFL, and transferred today. The Ruger is nice but doesn’t seem as close to Springfield’s build quality. There is a very obvious rattle coming from the trigger and grip safety, both of which are a bit loose.

Is this normal for Ruger 1911s, or should I send it back to them to fix? Haven’t even put a single round through the gun yet. A bit disappointed since the Springfield was $300 cheaper and seems to be a much better product.
