Curious if you have one and what you think about it.
Any issues/problems?
I was wanting to buy one but at a USPSA match today one of our shooters who is an instructor said she had one and it had to go back to Springfield for issues when new (and was great afterwards) and out of 6 of her students that purchased one 2 had issues (also when new) and the those two guns had to go back to Springfield. (which made them right)
Small sample for sure, but 3 out of 7 back for issues makes me concerned.
I have 2 other Springfield 9mm loaded 9mm 1911s, one low rounds and the other has about 70K rounds on it and both of them are fine. (maybe time for a barrel in the one, but hey at 70K+ I can't complain)
Still thinking about getting one but a two week trip to Springfield out of the box to make it right does not sound good.
Note: I am in CA so what I can get is limited it must be on the Approved List
(and we can only have 10 round mags) So other options I might chose for more mag cap don't matter here.
I do really like 1911s.......
