Now you have me leaning away from the SA Loaded in favor of the RIA Tac ... my wallet (and wife) might be thanking you soon ;)

I don't know off hand the cost of the SA Loaded and that is a very good 1911. I personally prefer the RIA TAC for reasons that have been well stated in this thread. Then you can have the trigger swapped and you are still ahead ( i.e. if you can't stand the TAC trigger). Another is in that ARMSCOR ( Ria's Maker) Has a great customer support/service. You will love them. I want send me a p.m. and I will give you link where the RIA/Armscor guys hangout and you can do your homework in your decision making.
