I just checked & we better ad the SA Emissary to the comparison list since it's also in the same MSRP price category.

I'll still vote for the Savage based on looks and features.
 
According to Guns.com the....

1) SA Operator is $62 cheaper, but less features,

2) SA Emissary is $7 more expensive, with less features & not as good looking as the Savage black non-railed 1911.

BUT, if you want a rail (not a must have feature in my book) then the Savage black railed version is...

3) $190 more than the railed Operator, but still with more desirable features in my book, and...

4) $120 more than the Emissary, but still with more desirable features and much better looking in my book.

BTW - To add a price comparison to the SA TRP model, three TRP models were $320/$551/$597 more for a non-railed TRP than the Savage non-railed.

Guns.com did not list a Railed TRP.
