Is there any reason?

To buy the Springfield RO 9mm over this, aside from the fact that it's actually available for purchase?

one is made by union labor in the (sic) constitution state.

the other is made by soccer enthusiasts in a second world country.

I'd take the cheaper of the 2 unless that little pony badge means much to you.

Well, the RO is machined in Illinois by union labor as well. The 80% forging is from Brazil, but the TRP and RO are machined in Illinois.

Hell, Colt probably gets their forgings from Imbel in Brazil too.

Both sound fine to me.

I held one and it felt like a POS. I kept bumping it off safe with my thumb.

My experience with RIA is to handle every one they have in the case. I've picked up one that's a rattle trap and the next was was fit fairly well (at least the slide to frame fit).

To be fair it was a sample size of one at Adventure Outdoors. When on safe, the selector extended down far enough, and was loose enough that the top of my thumb would actuate the safety. I like as high of a grip as possible though.

Oh I agree, and I've owned a shitload of CZ's over the years. I just love how slim a 1911 is, and how well it points. Also, it's pricey to get a decent trigger on a CZ, but it also costs extra for me to make a 1911 grip fit. I gotta have a magwell and magwell grips. The pin cutout on the grips dig into my hand otherwise. I guess I have wide hands or something but it's uncomfortable after 100 rounds or so.

On a 1911 your thumb should ride on the safety and keep it down. At least that is how I was always taught.
