Got a new toy!
The good:
Very tight frame-slide-barrel fit. Purty. Reasonable price at $599.
The bad:
Mushy trigger. Plunger pin sticks out too far to re-insert slide stop without using a tool to hold it out of the way. Magazine quality unimpressive. ILS is a little odd.
The plunger pin issue is really annoying. It took me half an hour to figure out how to re-assemble it after a detail strip without leaving a big scratch on the frame. I did get an itty bitty scratch, but it's not even through the parkerizing.
Fortunately Springfield says "send it back if it doesn't get better" which I will after I shoot it a bit. I want to know how it feeds and if there are any other issues so it doesn't need two trips back to the factory.
I might even just ask them for a new plunger pins/spring set to swap out.
The trigger is less concerning since this is a project gun and it's getting a trigger job at some point anyway. I'll probably ignore the ILS, and I have good mags already.
Gotta go do some shooting.
