Yeah, I'm a 1911 admirer, and I probably spent two weeks on this site before I purchased the Guardian. I am now a new member. Like many of you, I own many 1911's. Para, Springer, Colt, Rock Island. All in .45 ACP. 3 months ago I purchased a Wesson Valor, full size. 200 rounds through it without a FTF. Sweet looking and shooter. No problem with Checkmate factory mags. Eats HP, TC and FMJ all day long. I just sprung for the Guardian and it is everything the Valor is and I love the commander bob tail configuration. 200 rounds down the pipe and flawless. The duty treatment is immaculate. Once again, factory checkmates perfect. Yeah, cost is at high end, but assembly, attention to detail, milled internal fire control parts. lockup, all perfect. Right out of box trigger is consistent at 3.5 pounds. My Valor is 3#. Couldn't ask for more. If you are considering, buy it and never worry about remorse. Darn near as tight and fine as a Wilson Combat. No kidding. Production line pistol, but these folks pay attention to details. Inside machining is flawless. Hope this helps if you are on the fence. I was tempted to go for the Smith E-series..and they are fine products as well. Real lookers. And would have saved me nearly 300 bills. Glad I chose the Guardian.
