Nice, I remember speaking with our Kimber rep just after Springfield introduced this Model. Man was he pissed.  No I mean really pissed  first time I heard him curse. First they copied the CDP model and now the Eclipse.Personally I prefer Kimber 1911's and their smoothed edges as aposed to the sharper edges on most Springfield models. I respect the Springfield product because they are a good gun but they lost a lot of my respect when they started putting the interanal trigger locks in their 1911's. You got a nice gun there, I hope it works out for you. |

Another Black Stainless fan! A Black Stainless was my first "nice" 1911. The only real changes I've made are to swap the FLGR for a standard GI plug, 18.5lb recoil spring, and swap the thin grips for a standard size set. After a few hundred rounds of break-in it's been dead nuts reliable, and a better shooter than I usually am. Had to pay attention to keeping the extractor claw clean while it was new, but it's not touchy at all now. I really really liked the black and stainless when I got it. It was flashy and subtle at the same time, I thought. I got tired of the two tone thing after a while though. Now mine is all stainless and polished up. |
......welcome to the addiction.
I love that 1911 of yours. Even though I cannot bring myself to buy a stainless, yours looks awesome. |
