I don't know anyone who has a RIA or DE version but I'd disagree with the authors listing of the Remington version. I have not heard anything good about that model and know a coupel of folks that quickly got rid of it in favor of one of my two favorites.

I'd have put the Springfield Armory GI Spec. or Range Officer on there for a first 1911 purchase. Alternatively, one of the SIG GSRs.

Colt, money well spent.
Next would be a Sig scorpion and if i had to ghetto, a Canada Para Ordnance Ultra...
