Say all,
I wanted to research a little before I bought my Springfield Mil- Spec, so I called their 800 # and spoke to a very nice lady named Theresa in customer service. She informed me that the frames and slides were forged at Imbel in Brazil. Then Imbel sent what amounted to blank frames and slides to Springfield in the raw for final machineing and finishing. She seemed very knowledgable and answered my questions directly and professionally. Sometimes when you call a manufacturer you get someone who doesn't know, or they put you on hold for an eternity only to come back and tell you the person who knows isn't there, or some other lame excuse. Not so with this gal, she had the answers, and that impressed me. Needless to say, I bought one of their Mil-Spec .45's and couldn't be happier. I was so happy with it, I bought another one yesterday. The only differance in this one is it has the hi-viz sights and stainless barrel.
Springfield is definately going to raise some eye brows with this line, I can almost guarantee it.
Good luck, and Be Safe
