springfield 1911 any good? [just got it!]

I was thinking about the Rock Island 1911 at SARCO, but I can get a new OD green Springfield GI45 for $417 at a local gun shop. This shop also has a new parkerized Springfield GI45 widebody for $495. The Springfields both have a lifetime warranty.

These all seem like excellent deals. I am leaning toward the widebody but I was wondering if anyone here had any idea if the double stacked 13 round magazine has any negative effect on the reliability of the gun. So far it appears as if there is no negative effect.

One of these days when visiting family in north Jersey I plan to visit SARCO.

Thanks,

Chris
