I have springer ss loaded. I will get flamed for this, but was kind of underwhelmed by the 97b that I shot. If I'm shooting .45 it's coming out of a 1911. I have found other .45 guns to be enjoyable, but nothing replaces the 1911 in that caliber for me.
I can agree with the latter part of your statement. .45 out of a 1911 just seems right! I did enjoy shooting both 97B's however, but I enjoy a tuned 1911 even more
