Given that (1) I live in America, (2) don't currently own a .45 ACP pistol yet have ~1,500 rounds of said cartridge on the shelf, and (3) lack a 1911 in the safe, I've been kicking around the idea of getting one after I can drop 5 more pounds and earn my SCAR-17. To that end, I've spent some time at various shops and keep coming back to the Springfield TRP and the Colt Rail Gun since they're both full-size, steel frame pieces with an integral rail on the dust cover. Prices are relatively comparable ($50 or so on either side of $1,200) and they seem to be spec'ed more-or-less the same (sights, beavertail, etc) so is there anything significant I'd gain with one model over the other or would I be just as good going with whatever one the LGS has on their shelf when I'm ready to buy.
