Got it couple days ago, decent little pistol. It has the little clip to hold the guide rod spring back for disassembly. Trigger decent, overall weight nice and light and would make a decent carry piece. $709.00 wholesale, RSR had them in stock.

Not sure why I bought this one, I just did. The STI's have better triggers as does the DW CCO. My Colt New Agent returned from the mother ship and they say it's good to go now. At least I will have choices.

The weight of the pistol feels same as CCO, no rattles and when I feel a little better and get to the range, I will report back.

When that gun, the compact RO was announced, I was intrigued. But, not a fan of the bull barrel. Gun is probably a nice shooter. Good luck with it.

I agree with Joe. I am not a fan of the bull barrel either, have one and not my favorite. Should sell the darn thing for as little as I shoot it. I have no doubt that the SA is a fine gun....

I think you are going to find that the vast majority of 1911s with a barrels shorter than 4.2" will have Bull Barrels (usually ramped) and FLGRs. It just comes with the territory.

I tried to find some currently manufactured 1911s with barrels shorter than 4.2" that didn't have a bull barrel just to see how many there were, and I could not find one.
