I got it for free and I like the ease of maintanence. Its still quite simple to tear the gun apart and I can do it just as quickly as before i touched it. IIRC it came out of a trophy match springfield. I like it over aftermarket 2 piece guide rods. When its threaded together its impossible to tell that its a 2 piece.
I wasnt going for a super hopped up 1911, just something that shoots a low grain load very quickly without fear of penetrating interior walls. Since its not a high end 1911 I feel better about tit going everwhere with me, I sleep with it, it goes on vacation with me, i house it in my serpa holster on motorcycle riding trips, hiking, etc. I have other handguns but this one i trust my life with the most.
