Looks like you're in good shape, a nice dilemma to deal with.I curently own 4 SA 1911s.

I guess one of them must be right for me.

I've got a 5" Ronin in .45, which I like a lot. I'm thinking of adding an identical 5" Ronin in 9mm, just to have a 9mm in the mix and I DO like the two tones. I would consider a 4" 9mm, but I believe in Stainless Steel. Less so in Aluminum. I also have a Kimber Pro Carry II (4") for EDC.
Why doesn't the Loaded get any love? You don't even mention it in the article... I have a Mil-Spec, 2 Garrison Commanders (1 each blued and stainless), a Custom Shop Professional, and a Loaded. Of those, the Loaded definitely hits the sweet spot. I was going to buy a TRP but when I went to check it out the LGS had a Loaded next to it - for $700 less than the TRP, and imo the Parkerized finish on the Loaded is preferable to Cerakote on the TRP. Slide to frame fit is almost as tight and smooth as my Professional. The only thing it's missing, and that's easy to fix (if ugly) with a piece of grip tape.

I have the Loaded 9mm 1911 and I love it. Such a sweet shooter. Really just a range gun.

I am eyeing the new Commander sized TRP. Has anyone here fired one?
