Yea there pretty much the same gun so my pick would be the RIA I like the slide markings on it more then the Citadel. Even thought wish my RIA had front cocking serrations.

You can just toss a coin. Based on looks alone, I kind of like the Citadel. If I was not crazy about FCS, then the RIA Tactical would be the choice. You could also consider the STI SPARTAN for a few more dollars.

Didn't you just pick up a 1911? You got the fever bad.

I stick with the Armscor pistols I hadn't heard to much about the ATI's.
One more then consider is Rocky Island Armory has A+ customer service from what I read. I know that was kinda one of the buying points for me

ATIs are good 1911s.
Will never mind about what I said then.
Bac are the ATI made in Europe some place seems I read that some where I could be wrong. I know you more then likely have one.
Aren't they made in Turkey?

He probably sobered up, saw the price tag, and is now afraid to take it out of its box.

Be sure if you get the Springfield, Magna-Port it..Then you can make a $3200.00 gun a $505.00 gun. (there's the answer to the "what do I buy for 700.00 threads..) A Magna ported Pro!! With ammo money left over!

The rimfire (GSG) ATI is built in Germany.

I recently bought a ATI Commander. I can't give you a range report because I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Just a couple observations after I broke the gun down to do a good cleaning and lube. The slide/frame fit is amazingly good. I've seen 1911's costing 3X that aren't fitted as well. On the negative side, I'm not a huge fan of the GI sights, or the stock wood grips. I'd rate the trigger as average. But, I think it's an excellent base gun, and for $400 I think it's an excellent deal. Now for some new sights, new grips and a little trigger work. I'll let you know how the break in goes.
