Just got a Two-tone Ultra Compact V-10 at the gun show this weekend, and was wondering what you all thought of them? Anyone have any problems with them? |
All I have is an early, 90s edition, (like a mil spec, I think), with the parkerized finish. If yours shoots as well, you will be thrilled.

It shoots great and I will try and post pics here in a couple of days. I am now getting the wilson ambidextrous safety for it. The 1911 bug has bit me, I bought a 1991 Colt a few months ago then this Springfield. I am thinking about another Springfield maybe the milspec 1911 |
| Speaking of 1911 bug, I was bitten in 1992. I owned/carried a Beretta M9 and Taurus PT99. Bought a Springfield Armory M1911 as a play gun. Soon my 9mm's just sat around. My Ruger GP100 started collecting dust, my SP101...havent shot her in about 6 months. My Sig P220 .45 well, it doesnt shoot nearly as well as my SA. Glocks, pleeeze...had a model 22 and refuse to carry one ever again. If I could only own 1 firearm period it would be my M1911. Even the AR's arent as beloved !! I would not hesitate to purchase more M1911's if you get one that doesnt run right, everyone and their brother can make it work. I'd love the compact V10 myself, although I'm a firm believer that 9 should be plenty! |
YEAH!!!! You tell those kids when they get older, if they don't like it, they can buy THEIR OWN!!!! 1911's that is hesclothes wear out but 1911's don't!!! What would you rather have something that last a lifetime or some fickle fabric that you constantly have to replace! I thought so! |
