The fact that they make a gun that is over $1k that uses a plastic mainspring housing is ridiculous.


I 100% agree. And that plastic mainspring housing is a sign that they have started to cut a lot of unnecessary corners for a gun that is starting to not be competitive in the 1911 market.

Having said that, I will say Kimber puts some of the best looking finishes on their guns. I haven't seen a company as consistent as them making excellent finishes.

Ruger SR1911


Here is a review I did a while back of the commander model (4.25" barrel instead of 5"). I agree with others that it is an outstanding value for the money.

I haven't looked at it really closely but I do believe that the mainspring housing on my Colt Delta Elite is plastic.

Need to get it out a look at it closer.

Even Colt is going cheap where they can if it is indeed plastic. I'll look in the morning.

Your review is what pushed me to get the ruger. I was looking at the s&w like you had in the vid as well and decided after watching to get the ruger and a AK with the $ I saved. Cuz 2 is better than 1
