I finally got my Custom Carry 9mm in after ordering it in Feb. I only put 300 rounds through it this weekend but my initial impressions are that I am very satisfied with this gun. The fit and finish are a lot like the Ed Brown Kobra I had, very precise and not overly tight. The finish is impeccable. This is a very smooooootthhhh gun. The trigger was every bit the 4.5 lbs it was advertised to be. The gun is more accurate than I am and was 100% reliable with the supplied Springfield mags and my Wilson 10 rounders.
There were two minor issues however. The first was that I ordered the gun with Black G10 grips but it was shipped with the Standard Cocobolo. The second was that Springfield over charged my credit card by $125. Both of these problems were easily rectified with a phone call. SA custom service is top notch.
I will probably order one more nice 1911 in .45 before I am done (or that is what I keep telling myself but you know how that goes) and I was trying to decide what to get. I had thought getting a Guncrafter No Name, but now I am not so sure. I may get a matching Custom Carry in .45.
I detail stripped the gun yesterday as well. The smiths at Springfield worked on every single part of this gun with extreme care. The hammer hook and sear engagement is perfect. Every part is fit right and polished (unlike say my TRS which needed some polishing in the hammer, needed the trigger track and trigger bow polished some and had fitting marks at different places in the gun).
The trigger pull weighed 4.5 lbs on my scale. I replaced the sear spring with a less heavy duty one and clipped two coils off of the main spring. Now the trigger breaks at 3 lbs and is still very crisp.
