    The metallurgy in the Springer is better than the Ruger.

    Mine will be with me for a while. It goes on walks and drives with me a lot.
    It is not something anybody would want to be in front of.

    The Comp has been Ceracoated and the gun cleaned since the pic.
    Digging into it right now, I can already tell the quality isn't up there with the springer, but its a carry gun. Should serve me well. hopefully won't have to worry about rust on this one, as I sweat salt water.... I've already got some plans to do a little refinishing, removing some of the laser marks, and possibly sights. Gonna do some grip swapping, the factory woods are some of the coolest looking Rugers I've seen, much lighter than usual, but they aren't going to work for my needs....

    These are some of the best looking grips I've seen for the Ruger:

    SR1911® Eaglewings Cocobolo Grips-ShopRuger

    Problem is, I can't stand not having a thumb scoop for a 1911, they just make it a lot easier for me to hit the mag eject without having to shift my grip much.

    Those are cool. I agree with the thumb swoop. I'm going to swap over my VZs and pearce grip from my RO for right now until I can decide which VZs I want for it.

    Congrats guys on the new Ruger and M1A! Those are nice ways to close out 2015 for shooters. I'm going to have to pick up a Ruger Commander one of these days. Right now, my beater 1911 is a full size Remington and it would be nice to find something a little smaller for carry when I'm heading to the junk yard. The Ruger looks like a good choice for that since it's pretty well set up and is known for being reliable.

    I understand, I love my VZ's on my Ruger :D

    Well, she's home, clean and ready for the range tomorrow I want to thank Bobcat Steel for their help finding one available and getting it shipped to Virginia. So far the only thing I don't like is the mag release. It is harder to press than I'm used to.

    I will probably do some upgrades next year on what I currently have. The M1A will be first priority. Also get more ammo. However I have a Spikes stripped lower sitting in the safe that will need to be transformed into something but I really don't want another plain jane AR. Needs to be something "cool".

    My sp01 shadow. I haven't even shot it yet. I do like cz's and they are good looking guns as well

    I have been lurking in this thread for a while now... I am picking up my first CZ next week, a P-01 and will have a SP-01 Tactical in a few weeks. Any upgrade suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
