Well.
Bit more money,better sights available,better fit and finish,cast vs forged frame,made in the Philippines vs China, more models and options including stainless and 9mm commander option

Actually from many reports (if people would bother to look outside CGN) you will find numerous problems with tolerances and fitting of non stock parts with SAM... worth looking at before you buy. They aren't highly regarded in the states, many people say for a budge 1911 from the Phillipines, you are best looking at RIA.

Check the M1911 forums on SAM before buying..
Hopefully they have improved some of their QC issues..
Some may find this a dumb question but do standard 7 round 1911 magazines work with these SAM 1911's?
Do you plan to keep importing these on a regualar basis?
