I’ve committed to a Professional Model in 9mm with a rail. It should be here on Monday, you can bet I’ll be shooting it on Tuesday.
I’ll keep you updated.
Thanks for all the replies

I visited my Chiropractor yesterday and he had just gotten off the phone with someone in the Custom Shop...so they are still open.
His Professional is having feeding issues and has been back to the Mothership twice. He put 50 rounds through, it this last time, when it got back without a hitch. They called him to check on the gun. They told him it should be able to go 1k rounds without a bobble
Well, apparently, the Pro is all they are making. And, the current incarnation is not like it was in the past - from what others are saying:

I followed the link you provided. Maybe we're reading it differently.
Starting at Post #28 (dated Sept 29 2022), is a post from a member who contacted SA and received a list of custom work they are performing (he attached the list).
Post #31 (posted 15 hours ago) is a member who just sent in his gun for work

I subscribe to SA's newsletter and get the emails -- I got the same list of current Custom Shop work/prices (IIRC) last month.

I was looking at post #23, 24, 25, 26.
But, I do see post 28. In all fairness, that post was posted yesterday. I actually originally read that thread before post #28 was made. When I went back to get the link today, I didn't look at the newer posts..
I have no direct knowledge of what Springfield is doing... And, as I stated before, I would never buy one of their custom guns again. I had a bad experience years ago.
But, I was only posting what I saw on the 1911 forum... People were saying that they pulled the plug. It seems now like that wasn't true.
I have no dog in this hunt. I was just trying to pass along info that I didn't see being discussed here...
I'll shut up now

Just a tease, until life gives me a chance to put more rounds through it. But I gotta say, I have never felt an action like this gun has. I love 1911’s, had a few, still have six. I can’t get over the feel of this gun, shooting it feels and sounds like a camera shutter. This is the very first round out of it.

Here’s some more…everything is at 10 yards, offhand. I can’t live up to this guns potential.
147 grain loads (I pulled a couple low left)
It really likes the 124 grain loads

An interesting question. I have a friend currently working for Les, I'll ask him if and SA people came over.Interesting, wonder if they all went to work for Les.
That was quick, the answer is no.
