So going against the ARFCOM poll between TLE , Eclipse, XSE or MC Operator , I bought a Stainless TLE .
I put 300 rounds through it mostly my reloads (230 gr. 5.0gr Bullseye) some Winchester 230gr Ranger , and some American Eagle 230gr FMJ . I used the Factory mag , some Chip McCormick power mags, the Novak (Act-Mag) that came with my SW1911 , and a C-S marked magazine. I am happy to report that the gun runs flawlessly and shoots accurately . I am quite happy. 
and all together now ....

good job. dont let the haters choose for you. i have a raptor and love it! by the way hows the s&w1911? i really like s&w but havent got a 1911 from them. nice pistol, i like the stainless. The SW1911 FINALLY works ok after 4 trips to S&W. Drama as follows : Bought the gun at a gun show , stupid zip tie over the trigger so I did not notice how loose the trigger was. There was a ton of play up and down. The gun shot well, but it annoyed me so I sent it back to Smith (on their dime) . Got the gun back with a new trigger (a black one instead of silver 3 hole it came with) , trigger was tighter, not perfect, but I could live with it. New issue , when a full magazine was in the gun , the trigger bar was contacted enough so the trigger would not break without a lot of force. Gun back to Smith to adjust the trigger stop . (trip 2) Gun comes back, everything is hunky dory until : 
Gun back third time .... Get gun back again, same trigger issue as the first time they replaced it. Gun send back a forth time .... Now it works
