Vedubin01, I would really suggest that you shoot a mil-spec and a "modern" (meaning with good sights, beavertail grip safety, flared and lowered ejection port, extended thumb safety, etc) 1911 before you decide to buy. I've handled both, and I just can't get used to the mil-spec type 1911s, but I love the "modern" 1911s. The reasoning behind that is that if you bought a mil-spec 1911, and then decided to take it to a smith to modify with the above mentioned features, it will cost you just as much, if not more than a gun that came from the factory like that. That said, if the mil-spec ones strike your fancy, the $369 price is kicking. Also, I do believe that the SA Milspec's gun lock is in the Main spring housing, which is easily replaced (punch out the pin, pull out, insert new MSH, reinstall pin).
