I have a blued one now and had one in Wonder Finish about 10 years ago. My old one was a solid shooter, and comfortable, but had a problem with the manual safety engaging itself mid-magazine. Being a lefty, I couldn't solve that by using a high thumb hold on the safety. I had sent it back to EAA and had my own 'smith look at it to no avail. I ended up selling it. My new one has had no such problems and on top of that is FANTASTICALLY accurate. It fits my rather large hands extremely well and has been perfectly reliable. Best of all, even with the two extra mags I bought, I only have about $350 in the gun. I'd recommend trying one, though the SA mil spec's are also coming out quite nice these days and i'm a 1911 lover most of all, though that $325 EAA shoots almost as well as some of my $1000+ 1911's!
