The entry level 1911's my not have a final finish or checkering to match the Kimber's and such. Mechanically, the guns I have seen run as well as any kimber or Springfield that I own or have seen.
On the other hand, I have seen Trophy match pistols that looked good but trigger and slide fit were totally unsatisfactory. Obviously, this is not indictive of all Springers.
I am currently campaigning in Single Stack division. I use or have used: Les Baer, Springer, Colt, and Armscor. Some look better than others, some are a bit more accurate than others but I like them all and they all work.
