Can't speak to the SA. However, I do own and R1. It's a very nice basic .45ACP 1911. I don't regret buying it and most likely will keep it. I had the trigger slicked up and night sights installed...

Wow, this is a very interesting thread. I've learned quite a bit from it. But, it seems almost as if it turned into a Colt/SA/Kimber thread.

50 yards is a good distance. I personally use 75 as I find it works best for me. 100 is OK if you're doing most of your shooting at 100 yards. However, as has been stated, you'll be a little high...
