Yep, got mine yesterday from a local shop also just under $600 and looks just like stallard's above, very shiny and has the same grips, also noticed that the magazines have all metal internals, another local shop had a standard pt1911 and i think its called the traveler or follower, something like that, the bit that the rounds set on and push down as you load it, on that taurus they were plastic, on mine they are metal, but he is clearly a better photographer, or at least has a better camera then i do, so i'll let his photos represent our fine 1911.
Mine however turned out to have a broken ejector, the gunk they had on it as a preservative kept it in place until i hit it with some one shot, and then the little pin that sticks out of it, fell right off. Going to call them tomorrow and see about its replacement but don't really want to ship the pistol off for something i can fix myself in an hour tops, even if it costs me $10-15 for the part, my dad had a WWII 1911 he inherited from his dad (and no amount of begging would get him to give it to me so i just bought my own) and we had to replace the ejector in it once due to his allowing a friend to shoot it and him dropping a round in the top, it broke it.
So if anyone knows of any drop in part that would save me having to send it off for a lengthy repair trip, i would love to hear about it. I already removed it just to make sure i wouldn't have any issues i had to send it off for, it came out without any issues.
