And suprisingly it's not a cheap knock off.
I went into a local shop today to fondle as many handguns (9mm and .45) as possible before making up my mind. Glocks, Sigs, HK's, Rugers, Kimbers, etc.
The one that impressed me the most though was a Springfield High Capacity 1911. Wow. Unlike many of the other HiCap 1911's, it has a forged frame instead of a polymer frame. The grips are a bit wider than regular 1911's, but didn't seem too big by any means. A hell of a nice gun. And man, 14 rounds of .45? Sweet! Came with two tens and two fourteen rounders.
Pretty sure I'm going to get it. But before I dropped the cash, figured it wouldn't hurt to ask around.
Any experience with these? I hear they actually have a reputation for being even more reliable than other 1911's.
