If you are worried about money. Buy an RIA and have a good 1911 gun smith “tune” it if you are worried. Won’t have too much into you 1911 and you can have confidence it will function well.

I think I will follow flechero's advice and figure out how to "tune" my extractor. However, I looked over on Youtube and saw one guy with files, scales, specialized spacers, sanders, etc. etc. Another Youtuber just bent the extractor back and forth while it was partially inserted in the slide until he was happy with it.

I really like my Sr1911 and also like my VM2.
One thing I did add to my SR1911 was this Fast safety system.
You can carry with hammer down, round chambered, flick the safety off which recocks the hammer.
Have this on my 1911 and Browning HP.
