Interesting specs - I would say actually buy a basic Springfield or Kahr GI clone and build it up from there so you get exactly what you want. Out of curiosity, why don't you want front slide serrations? I'm quite partial to them. Don't buy a Colt - they make nicely finished guns, but you're mostly paying for the name.

You'll also find that with an STI or other high-end 1911, they usually tend to to very tight - which is great for mechanical accuracy but a real headache for reliability. Fact is unless you're in the top 5th percentile of shooters, you're never gonna shoot a handgun well enough to notice the difference. When I worked at the gunshop I found that coming up all the time with our Kimbers.
