SA Loaded Champ or Para EXT LTC

[EricS76]

Lately i've been wanting a 1911. I've narrowed it down to a 4.25 inch barrel model. The two guns i'm most interested in are springfield loaded champion and the para ordinance EXT LTC. I'd like some opinions on which has better features, fewer problems, ect.

If you want a true commander length, forget the Champion.....thats 4 inch with a bull barrel. I had one and it had issues...FTRB and FTE. I got tired of trying to figure those issues out and sold it. No, I did not bother to send it to SA as I just didnt want it anymore.

I saw a blued Colt 80 series commander at the gun show today for around $650 i believe. I didn't like the sites at all. It had the old iron sites on it. How much would it be to put some night sights on it? And is $650 high for a base gun like that?
