That's a fine looking piece of steel indeed.
I can't comment on the SFS trigger, but I do know I have heard nothing but praise on the entire SR1911 line.

I have thought about the SFS, have ya'll heard of any failures? 0 -
I have a Ruger SR1911 Commander-size, lightweight, that I carry every day. I like it a lot. It's the TALO version that is black-coated stainless steel, and it has the normal ignition system.
I saw the trigger system some of you described, in the Brownell's catalog, and wondered whether it ever attracted any buyers. I can see its utility in one fairly narrow circumstance:
You are a peace officer who furnishes his own pistol for duty. You really like the 1911 platform and choose that for your duty pistol, but your employer is nervous about people seeing a cocked pistol in your holster.
Absent those factors, I'll just go Condition One.
For a short time, I had a Daewoo with the "fast-action" trigger, a similar, but different design to the one you described. It was interesting, but the trigger pull was pretty bad.0 -

This SFS when loaded is considered condition one (atleast by this gentleman), the chamber is loaded, and the moment the safety is pushed the system is cocked ready to fire. This fella seems to be we versed in it and sells and installs the system. I don't get any indication that it impacts trigger pull at all, unless you mess with the spring tension. Informative video. I am seriously thinking about giving it a try.
Forge, I'm actually surprised I figured you would be likely to pooh pooh it. So you don't have any issues with it?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d-PGv7plcQ&t=583shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d-PGv7plcQ&t=583s0 -
What I can't figure out is his kit comes with a small circular return spring. But his install video doesn't reference it or show it being changed. 0 -

That's because the circular spring you're referring to is for the Browning HP,,,
Note, there is a 'type' of transfer bar safety,,,,,,
I have no problem with the system,,,,,,,that's why I demonstrated it on GB a couple of years ago,,,
HA good to know...they sell the SFS for the HP too so his ad is probably a generic pic...okay cool, watched that video three times thinking I missed it! LOL Thank you for solving the mystery.
Are you aware of any failures of the hammer to cock? Do you think the C&S version is worth the extra coin over the RDIH? Are these systems MIM?0 -

I wish it had a checkered front strap.0 -
Mine has a vertically serrated front strap. Not as nice as checkering, but functional. 0 -
Is it just me or does it seem to anyone else like this system was developed merely to cater to the fears of the ignorant?

It's not just you, but some of us prefer not to insult others, so your query was slightly edited.

Patently, I was being generous.[:)] 0 -

If I up my budget $250 I can get a Dan Wesson Vigil CCO...might gonna have to do that... the better sights, and finish make it worth it, and DW quality...even if it is a commander slide 0 -
I like the spur on those guns. You can open a can of Coke with them if the tab breaks off.
Try that with a a Glock.0 -
So I got distracted, started looking at DWs and Fusions...ended up ordering a Fusion CCO...helped they dropped their prices $75 yesterday!!! 0 -
+1 on the combat carry quick acquisition sights - I foresee personalization of the grips...
As far as 1911 platforms go I have a WWII DCM / CMP surplus mixed component piece and a series 70 and my fantasy match target home build...
But that's a nice piece - we look forward to an unboxing review and range report from you

I have a couple SIG's that have de-cocking levers. Just pull the trigger when ready to shoot.[;)] 0 -
Can you explain the difference in the ramps...

Have and FNP-45 with the de-cocker. Took me a while to get comfortable with it, but as a bedside pistol, I do like the point and shoot DA condition.0 -

Did ya go with a 'ramped' barrel ???
The pics below is the 'difference' ,,,,,,,My 'Lab Rat' gun has a ramped barrel,,,,,,I built mine with the W/N ramp,,,,
I assume it is a standard ramped barrel...as it's a standard series 70 set up, and nothing was specified about the ramping on the barrel.
-HD Chrome barrel, target crowned for excellent accuracy & easy cleaning
-Positive barrel lock-up allows for superior accuracy out of the box
-Traditional 70 series design compatible with standard Colt style replacement parts
I have inquired. My guess is for the price it's standard ramping0 -
forge...do you think a fully ramped barrel is a necessity for a carry 1911 utilizing JHPs? The Ruger comes with a fully ramped barrel, I could go back to my orignal plan. 0
