Good shooting and nice weapon. Thats my next gun purchase...Just love those Springfields...

They are the most popular pistol to carry where I work. All 1911's in 45 ACP. It's a machine shop but the owner encourages us to bring them. He knows the response time for law enforcement is too long if things go completely south. It's a high crime area simply because there's lots of high dollar stuff to steal.:2guns: One guy stole the company delivery truck one day in broad daylight! We didn't even know it was gone until we went to use it.

The 1911 is a wonderfull weapon. I have owned several of them over the years from all types of different manufacturer's. Every one of them preformed just as they should and some of them preformed a tad better then others. One of the truely amazing things with the ones i've owned was that the cheaper 1911's,(Llama,Balister,Star) all fired a greater selection of ammo then the colt's or para-ordanence that i've had. The feed ramps on the less expensive models was just a shade longer and would allow me to load and shoot hollow point rounds, where the short feed ramps on the more expensive model's allowed only standard ball rounds to be shot without jamming.

Anyway, it only takes about one magazine of ammo to see why the 1911 is the most reproduced model of handgun in history. You just have to love those old reliable brain children of Mr. J.M. Browning!!
