Default Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec, loaded or Trophy Match?

sometime this year i want to add a Springfield 1911 to my collection. Which one do you have? What are the differences in these 3 models?

The loaded looks like a nice upgrade, i understand they are 700 to 800$ , but haven't priced one yet.

Thanks

PS Terry, thanks for for this new section

I have a Springfield Compact (commander)..and it shoots great. It is one of the guns I always take to the range so people think I shoot good! LOL
I also have a full size Springfield Mil spec...........I like shooting it, although people say it should just be a collectors. Forget that!
I paid under $500 a piece for them. I think the Mil Spec was about $479....
Whichever 1911 you get, you can always modify later.
The guns are a little too heavy to 'carry', in my oppinion....but they are good to shoot!
You should have one in your sock drawer!

A 1911 would be great. Those loaded models look great!

I love my SS Mil Spec. My favorite gun. You can't go wrong with any of them. Buy whatever one you can afford and mod it to your liking later.
