I picked up a Springfield Champion for a very low price. I was finally in the right place at the right time.
My main concern is I have never looked into it, but which recoil spring does it take? Are the commander length springs easier to find? |
| Champion is a great 1911. Did you get the loaded? It's built like the 70 series without firing pin blocks. I really like mine and you can't beat Springfields customer service. And yes, they will warranty the pistol even though you are not the original owner. You can find springs at Wolfe. Unless you find a 70 series Colt Commander, I'd stick with the SA. Also, if it is a loaded model, you have a bull barrel without a bushing. Should be more accurate. Mine is dead nuts. |
| Those Wolff springs above will work only if you have a barrel bushing type of recoil setup. If you have a bull barrel, you're going to have to get a whole new (dual spring recoil) assembly from Springfield Armory. Once you've found out which type of 1911 you have, there ya go. |
