popeye! I hope you have better luck with Olive than I did. The MilSpec is a sweet gun to work on. I'm thinking about getting mine refinished, but I'll probably shoot 'em some more first.
What's the deal with Springfield Armory 1911? I keep hearing they're made in Brazil? Is that true? And also people say they are cast steel slide, sort of like Ruger, and they're not very durable compared to milled forged steel used by Colt. Also they are only average in accuracy. They do seem to be least expensive namebrand 1911 around, is there any reason that is so? Any truth to the above rumors?
