My first 1911 was a SA TRP that served me well for a number of years. I found a Pro locally for a decent price and left work early to put a deposit on it. Sold my TRP to help fund it and havent looked back. Its served me flawlessly (with regular maintenance) for over 8 years. I've bought and sold a decent number of 1911s since picking up with Professional but its still my GO-TO 1911 for training, fun, carry, etc.
Just recently picked up a Baer and a Brown and so far I dont see any shortcomings in the Pro vs the others. Shame Springfield's custom shop is only a fraction of what it used to be.
I’m playing catch up on PF so apologies if you have your answer all ready. Dustin Housel is turning out some amazing pistols. He will build exactly what you want from the ground up or from a base gun. He’s located in Joplin. I’m not sure if his books are open right now but he built a 5” 9mm for my dad a couple of years ago. He had it done in like 14 months if I remember correctly. The nitride took a couple months to get back or it would have been done in a year. He’s an up and comer and not well known. If you dig around addicts you can find plenty of positive feedback.

I have an Ed Brown Executive Elite II, and I really like it.
Highly recommended....
Better finish than a Wilson too, but I'm not sure how the EBs compare with Nighthawks
Picked it up today, looked even better than the pics. Wore it around the house for a few in my CCC Uno, will try my 5Shot Burton Special and see if I prefer kydex or leather.
