re: Springfield vs. Colt - talking 1911s

When I was in the market for a 1911 a salesman at Jims let me hold feel and rack the slides on any gun they had. When it came down to it I was between a colt special combat government and the springfield trp. The special combat government was the more expensive of the two and compared to the trp was unbelievably sloppy for fit. He said my gut instinct was right and between the two it was no contest. Fwiw he didn't know if I was buying from him or not and in the end I didn't because they wanted over 1800 out the door for the trp. Would have been about 2-300 more for the colt if memory serves me correct.
