Thanks for confirming my own thoughts, aluminum somehow just doesn't sound quite as durable or as rigid even though it would be entirely appropriate for some purposes. If this ultimately gets me to pick up some light free weights again, I guess that'll be a good thing.

Norm, for the price the Springfield RO in either 9mm or .45 is very hard to beat. I have the stainless in 9mm and it is a very solid shooter. Also if there was ever an issue with it, Springfield will pay shipping both ways to correct it. I use Tripp Cobra mags or Dawson Precision, good mags are a must have with any 1911.
I think I've reached a decision here. Now to deal with the 5-sheets of administrative crap that's required . . . I did pick that up yesterday.
