I like it as it'll feed off of my 4506 magazines. The only recommendations I'd make for the basic 4516-1 is to replace the bobbed hammer with a spurred one and when the factory recoil spring wears out to replace it with a 19# Wolff spring.

I can't say enough good things about the pistol. A few months ago I was the only one of 900+ sworn that carried one and now there is another....I'm hoping to start a 3rd Gen 45XX/10XX series comeback in LE with my agency, but we're stuck on plastic and 1911s.

You can't go wrong with a 4516-1.
