JTucker 2 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I just found this at one of my LGS today. Looked at about ten different 1911s from a Rock Island on up to some pricey Kimbers and Colts. This one had as good or better fit as anything and was in the middle of the price range. I've read good things about how accurate these are as well. I'm kind of partial to the Springers as my first 1911 was a GI model. They didn't even have it out yet, I had to ask id they had any Springfields. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nice! ............and an NM serial prefix. From what I've read, the NM serials indicate it was made in the US, as opposed to most Springer 1911's being made in Brazil. (Not knocking the Brazil-based Springers at all) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTucker 2 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes, it's a US made gun. My GI is made in Brazil. It's a fine gun as well, actually nicer than a lot of US made guns I've looked at but this one is really well fitted and the trigger is sooooo good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtjosaas 72 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Looks nice. I have been thinking about picking up a 1911 next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshi 87 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I keep hearing about how nice the Springfields are compared to the Kimbers and etc.. Really wanting to get one I just dont know if it would be any kind of upgrade from my Para. Love the gun just hope you dont have to deal with their customer service, kind of a joke in my experiences. JT is not making it easier. Looks good bro! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcx39 28 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Good choice with the springfield. How much did you give for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTucker 2 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 It was $800, I had a hard time giving that much for a gun but I had part of it from the sale of another handgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
