Peregino, thought I would add a bit more hamburger to the pile.

Kind of thought that might be the case, but figured it would be worth exploring as an option. Right now Springfield is offering FFL employees 1 rifle and 1 hand gun at 20% below dealer cost and that got me thinking M21/M1A. I'll pass on the rifle, but I think I'll get a 1911 TRP. A buddy has one and I really like it. I have their "Loaded" model and have shot them side by side. The TRP is just a bit nicer....and who couldn't use another 1911.
