Has anyone seen, fondled or shot one of the Savage made 1911 pistols?

They've been on the market for a bit but I haven't heard much about them either good or bad.

I've looked at them, price to feature comparison, they seem overpriced. Can get Springfield with same feature set for hundreds less. Also lack of front strap treatment is no-go for me

Savage making a 1911 is kinda funny seeing as the 1911 beat out the Savage pistol during that military trial.

Ok funny part aside, you do get quite a bit a features with a Savage 1911. Novak sights, rail if you so choose that model, black nitride if you get that version.

They look nice for a modernized looking 1911, forged frame and slide which is a must in my book, and tool steel sear and disconnector.

Hammer, safety, and trigger look very very Novakish

Definitely Novak sights and thumb safety. The trigger guard undercut is very similar to Novak's style as well.

Very....

Handled one.  Not fond of the billboard but it looks like they have a lot of good parts standard.

I like the Sig’s if I had to have a modern looking 1911.  

Sig should have made the trigger guard look like a P-226 instead of a 1911 when they introduced their 1911.  They could have made the hammer solid and round it like a P-226.  Why not?  The slide looked like a P-226.

I played with a couple at the store and really liked them, so much that I would buy one if they made a LW Commander. Fit and finish was great.

Do they have a proper Colt/Kimber/Tisas/Dan Wesson grip frame profile or the Springfield/Auto Ordnance/Fusion "Feels like holding a 2 X 6" grip frame profile?

Is there a difference?  I can't find any difference between my Colts and Springfields.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Springfield front strap seems to have a tiny bit more material good for aggressive 20 LPI. But if you don't notice, you don't notice.
