Thank you all for such great info and willingness to help a newbie of .45 ACP 1911. I heavily leaning to a Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded. What you say? I like it, the appointments look top notch, it comes already with what could be regarded as custom work...

ETA: I could also go with a Stainless Steel Colt Competition Pistol, looks darn beautiful to me.
