True. Hard to get parts for those except for the sig. (And yes, i own a couple of them). They're nice (if heavy). Good thing about 1911's is parts are common and easy to find. - dan

If you are losing links and slide stops without high volumes in-between then your issue lies elsewhere. I am shooting 1911s in 9mm, 10mm, .45ACP and .460 Rowland. The only time I had stuff break was when I was pushing things way too hard.
I had a nice Sig P220 in 45acp, real nice pistol, But it sat in the safe , while I shot my 1911 ,
BTW a Norc built by Roger Kotanko, RIP.
I have a brass catcher I used it when shooting at the old place in the grass, it worked fine, sort of a bag in the hand, have not used since I moved 10 yrs ago.
Kimber made a nice gun, I had no trouble with them, but some seem to bad mouth them.
Fellow I know bought a Rem, and it seems like a nice gun, trigger was exc, and price was very good when they first came out.( 1911 45.)

I have three SAMs. They were good guns for the money a few years ago but their prices have gone up a lot. Be aware that while they are supposedly 1911 identical clones they sometimes have problems with out of spec machining. A high qualtiy US made mag release would not properly fit in my SAM 9mm stainless Commander because of this. The ejector in my SAM 45 stainless Commander was improperly adjusted. i also bought two SAM Thunderbolts as they were supposed to be their high end target 45's. Both were pieces of poorly finished, ill-fitting crap. i returned both of them to Wolverine for refunds. Better stuff out there for the money.
