    I remember back in the late 80s/early 90s when all Springfield Armory 1911s were a POS.

    I have a Springfield Armory full sized RO I got a few years ago and it's a fantastic firearm. Head and shoulders above the Colt Gold Cup I bought in the early 90s, which is a rattletrap when you shake it.

    Congrats on your purchase!

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    I have shot many, but only own one real 1911 and my SA Loaded is a great gun. Tuned up a bit, but was great in stock form.

    Haven’t taken it out yet but it has great reviews, took it as a trade for some carpentry work. So far, I’m happy with the deal!

    There is always an exception. It’s not a grip at all, just a magazine holder

    Found this at a bargain price at an antique store in Clarkston, WA. Hand hammered, 14 quart, made in Italy. In the process of cleaning/polishing...more difficult than I thought it would be. The part I've cleaned looks really good.
