Already done!! I have almost 200 rounds through it!! It was a busy range sesson Saturday. I had just about an hour to put as many rounds as I could through it!! :D

Range report is posted HERE (http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40919).

What a beautiful baby! Was it an easy delivery? How many do you have planned? Of course you know that now it needs a new brother or sister.

Does it get along with the others?:D

10-Ring,
Well, let's see. I have the two SA mags that came with the gun, which I believe are made by metalform.

I have two Chip McCormick SS Match grade mags, but only one of those locks the slide back. I have been in contact with the company and will send it back to the womb for rebirthing.

I have an assortment of 7 round mags including two factory Colt from the 'Nam era and one Mec-Gar.

Oh, I almost forgot!! One lone Wilson Combat that is as yet untried!!

I am currently in the throes of trying to decide that age old dilemma: which 1911 mag is best!!

So far, the 'Nam era colts, the Mec-Gar, and the SA mags are winning!! :rolleyes:

We will see if the vaunted Wilson Combat makes the grade!! The winner will get a big denfoote contract!! ;)


El Tejon,

Don't know!! It has not yet been introduced!! ;)

Dan'
Thanks!! :D

denfoote - sounds like you'll be spending some time on this quest for the best 1911 mag! :cool: Are you satisfied w/ the performance of your Spingfield otherwise?

[denfoote]

I've only shot it once!! 173 rounds. Other than the three failures to go into battery, which were probably due to the gun being really tight and the fact that I hoofed it down to the range as soon as I could after making the transfer, it works fine!! :D

If this keeps up, I'm probably going have to venture into Scottsdale AZ and talk with Mike Dillon about a reloader!! ;)

It's a nice feeling to have a new gun=)

Happy for ya!
