Rugers 1911's are crap!
Curious as to why you think that. I did have a Taurus and it was OK, and a Kimber that I couldn't stand (unreliable) but the fit and finish on the Rugers I have (45,10mm and 9mm) have all been excellent, and the guns run smoothly right out of the box.
I will say they have gone up in price a lot since I got the 45 version for $499 back in 2012. They used to have that going for them, but these days they are just as expensive as the Springfields and the rest.
