[QUOTE="HackerF15E, post: 1373290, member: 9689"] A completely valid point -- just understand what prompted the photo comparison to begin with, which was a typical internet discussion between people bantering about anecdotal evidence and using apples-and-oranges photos to compare features, fit-and-finish, internal parts, etc. There simply hadn't been a side-by-side viewing. Now, with respect to metallurgy and Kuhnhausen-comparative lists of dimensions, that'll have to be left to someone with more time and technical know-how than I. In that vein, I too can only offer anecdotal evidence based on my own experiences and what I've read on the interwebz. Te be fair, I've never seen a counterpoint offered up which uses anything but "opinion" by a gunsmith as to why a Springfield GI might be a "better" 1911 than a Armscorp/Rock Island. It's easy to raise the question, and much harder to prove the point. I stand by the assertion that, for the price, the RIA is a fantastic value, even when compared to other competitors that are offered at a higher price. Nothing more, nothing less. [/QUOTE]
