Found a Springfield Loaded 1911 last week at the gun show for $775.00 out the door.
I thought this was a good price so I jumped on it. (Was it a good deal?) So far I've only put 100 rounds through it and it has run perfect. No jams or anything. I haven't shoot a 1911 in a couple of years until this week. I think that was stupid of me now. I'm really enjoying it, makes me want a commander model or emp for a carry gun

I have the same pistol, but all parkerized (In the photo, your's looks two tone).
GREAT 1911... Mine has been flawless, and very accurate. I recently added a Dan Wesson to my collection...Prior to that, my Springfield Loaded was my top 1911. (Now it's in second place, but still a VERY VERY good gun). EDIT: Looking at the picture again, your gun does NOT appear to be two tone (just the light, I guess)...So it is the EXACT same gun as mine. EDIT #2: Those Wilson Combat magazines are AWESOME!! I have a bunch of them. |
Looked at the loaded for my second Springer but picked up a RO for a great price to go with my Mil-Spec as I liked the rear target sight better on it. Whichever you choose, they all seem to run great out of the box. I've not had a single jam or ftf in either of mine with well over 1K rds through each one. However, I did replace that stiff main spring, lock setup, and housing they come from the factory with. I also got some new grips for both without the Springfield logo as I like the look better.  The new grips were just plain jane walnut ones I picked up for $10 at the funshow and then I gave them a coat of WATCO Danish Oil, Medium Walnut and they came alive as you can see above.  |
| 2nd pistol I ever purchased was a Springfield loaded 1911. I still have it and shoot it often. I love the pistol. My only complaint is that it is blued and I sweat alot so I don't like carrying it, due to constant need for lube and a rub down to prevent rust. Back when I picked it up they were selling for $650 out the door, which killed me back then. Now I wish they were that much. |

Love the loaded.
Got a GI plug and rod on the way as well as a set of magpul grips to try out. in MEU(SOC) dress  DSC_3604-1 by The Dorsal Fin, on Flickr
