I have a stainless Specialist I bought a couple years ago to shoot USPSA single stack with that I never got around to doing. The gun is outstanding though and the extraction and reliability is on par or even better than my Springfield Professional. The trigger is also outstanding out of the box. I will probably end up selling it one of these days because I just don't carry or shoot a 1911 anymore, but it would be the only brand I would consider for anything short of a custom shop gun.
