Also , the Milspecs I have seen have the NM serial # prefix with NO Brazil markings.. having said that, I tried to put a GI firing pin in my "Milspec" and found out that the firing pin hole is to small for the GI pin

I have, and have seen, milspecs from Brazil. While some probably get US frames, I don't think it is the norm. Never tried a GI pin... interesting. |

Springfield has been using the 38 super firing pin for several years. |

My Mil-Spec has Brazil markings.
Get a new extractor when you buy the pistol... the stock Springfield ones are garbage. About a half dozen failures to fire within the first 150 rounds. Since then I've had only a couple in 500 more rounds. Everyone told me the slide release was garbage too, so I replaced mine, I took their word for it. |

If the serial prefix is NM it will not have Brazil markings.. |

What's with the Brazil markings? Are they made in Brazil? Sorry, I'm a noob at this.

One more thing- the mil spec stainless model- what is the finish like, matte or shiny. Can't really tell from the pic on the website...
