I have one and you will love it. $425 is an awesome price if the gun is new. very accurate and very reliable. Excellent under rated pistol.

After shooting it a few times, you may find you'll want a bit better sight set-up. The standard 3-dot set is way prone to snag too much, IMO.
The second thing I replaced was the less-than-perfect two-piece barrel. My groups dropped in half, or better, after that. My .o2 |

Good gun. I liked mine so much, I sent it off to be customized. It serves me very well, and only failed once in three years. Nothing a polished throat didn't take care of!

My SA milspec hasn't missed a step. EVER. Never failed to go BANG, eject or chamber a round. That's out of the box with NO work whatsoever.
Yeah, the sights kinda bite, and compared to nicer 1911s, it's not super accurate... But my intention is to use it as a base gun, and have it accurized, put better sights on it and then shoot the piss out of it. |

SteyerAugs's group buy turned my attention to the SpringfieldArmory 1911A1 WWII version.
Damn I like that little thing a lot. At my local gunstore for $389.00 SOLD! |

I got one and love it. Great accuracy for the money-in fact, I can't see spending $200 or more for one that's MORE accurate unless you want to shoot competition.

Your neighbor's kid is suddenly grabbed by a stray dog & the kid is screaming. You have one shot, do you wish for a precise one or one in the general area? Precision isn't just for competition. I have a mil-spec that will outshoot Gold Cups & I had it done for less than $200. My .o2 |

Love my stainless one. I like the sites on mine and never had one snag. Different carry/body configurations I guess. I was going to customize mine which is why I bought the mil-spec but after getting it, there weren't any problems with it. Mines a carry piece and I believe if your carry piece is accurate and reliable, you shouldn't touch it. The old 'If it aint broke, don't fix it' approach. Good shooter, have fun.
