Bi-Tone Springfield Armory Lightweight Loaded Champion 1911 4''
Its got pachmayer grips on it that i will be replacing and ill be putting an ambi safety on, after i have the slide and frame sent back to SA for a refinish :) (I just have OCD) Ill polish the barrel when they are being sent out! Thing is awesome but the one mag does not feed HST i think im going to stick with Critical defense for the 1911 as ive used in all my glocks.... Ill get some pics up soon, but crazy busy with finals edit: quick cell phone picture http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...cksTc/1911.jpg |

nice, you will learn quick that factory 1911 mags are garbage, go get some chip mccormick or kimpro mags |

Ya im seeing that 1911 factory mags are crap, like i said only the one feeds hydra shocks reliably and the other hangs up every round... Ive also read that you shouldnt use open cavity defense rounds in 1911's since they have been engineered for FMJ... Thats why im going to switch to critical defense from hornady that i carry in all my glocks... I should have the slide and frame back sometime after x-mass if i can have it sent out sometime within the next couple weeks... |

Well should have a spikes tactical 10.5 upper in tomorrow to complete my sbr ar15. Waiting on a custom built mp5 pistol that I'm hoping comes in this week and still waiting on my trident 9 suppressor which I'm hoping comes in this week or next, damn c3 transfer taking forever.

great pick up steve (i think I helped persuade you haha) You will love it, but (and I am sure you know this) dont carry her until you find the kind of ammo she likes to eat and you get the hang of the safety down :wink: |

Im not a fan of the capacity, but i think the 1911 will by my winter carry and my G26 or when I get another G19 will be summer carry.. Im going to pick up a box of CD to try at the range this weekend...It seems the one magazine feeds them fine, but maybe some polishing in there will smooth things out.. And ya ya ya ill get the safety down :cool: |

So Just got off the phone with Springfield Armory and was surprised to be greeted quickly by an actual person, ha.
I will be sending the gun off to Springfield next Monday after the ambi safety is installed for a complete refinish and replace any worn parts, which may include night sights, which they still glow good so i doubt those will be changed at all, recoil spring still feels fine too Turn around time quoted at 3 weeks during holiday time Hopefully now after all this refinishing and stuff, I will shoot faster? Here is cellphone pic on my crappy droid camera :( http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d.../TheFamily.png |
