I just bought Springfield mil-spec 1911. It is a beautiful gun and for the price range a fantastic value. The quality is there ..for an entry level gun. I am almost convinced that the 1911 issuperior to any Glocks I own. And I am saying this as Glock fan for many many years.
However buying this particular model was a mistake on my part I had not research it enough so it was my fault. The beavertail grip safety is so skinny that he digs into the web of my hands it just feels horrible.
I am planning to sell this gun. What I did not realize was there was a big difference between various types of grip safeties out there and I happen to have pick the one that feels absolutely horrible. my Glocks feels so much nicer in comparison. Yes, my blocky g30s actually felt ergonomically superior after 50 rounds fired with the Springfield.
I saw a review that mentioned this but did not take it to heart. The gun felt fine at the store...but after 50 rounds fired I regret my purchase.
So learn from my mistake.... If you are new to 1911s. Yes, I am still planning to buy another 1911.
