In a never ending quest for knowledge, this is the 8th gun forum I've joined and right off the bat I can say very pleased to see the sub forum on Ruger 1911's!
Hope no one minds I'll probably just lurk around and not do too many posts at first.

I only have two 1911's so far, the Smith & Wesson Tactical Rail and the Ruger.

Howdy Nova,
Just wanted to return your friendly greeting. I'm in Kommiefornia, People's Republic of, myself... which of your 1911s do you prefer? I've never handled either make, how do they do accuracy& reliability-wise? Any customization?

Which do I prefer? The jury is still out on that one - although it may not be necessary, i do intend to shoot 500 rounds from the Ruger before I make a final assessment on it.

Here is a link to a Range Report I made on another forum:

Next time at the range I'll leave the S&W at home and just take the Ruger - I'll put 50 rounds of Federal Premium Match 185 grain FMJ Sem-Wadcutter through it, at bench rest. As for customization, none for now, but down the road the Ruger might get a trigger job.
