I bought it from a former co-worker and all I remember about it was a stripled frame and I think a Bo-Mar rib with target sites. The gun was very accurate but no more reliable then my RIA.As for comparing the RIA to the government surplus 1911s, it made as much sense to me as you trying to compare a firearm I have owed about a year to a heavily used custom, IE nothing. You are trying to say that modern customs are so much better then an RIA and I am saying that for the average shooter they are not. For the price of some customs a shooter can buy 2 of a lesser brand plus a whole lot of ammo to practice with. I have never been a 1911 snob, I am a shooter.</blockquote>
