I’ve been kinda looking for another railed 1911 since I got rid of my last Kimber. My wife had a really expensive elephant leather holster made for that Kimber, but the gun was just completely unreliable; very accurate, but unreliable. Therefor, it got sent down the river just like the other four Kimbers I have owned. Only my early TLE/RL II was reliable and I never should have let it go.
Anyway, I’ve had my eye out for a Springfield as I’ve generally had good luck with their products and customer service, but a LWT Operator has been tough to source. Finally found one at a local pawn shop. New in the box with night sights, but their price seems pretty high at $1099.00 and they aren’t willing to budge. Can’t really blame them as re-stocking is almost impossible.
What I’m really here to ask for I guess is Springfield 1911 horror stories. I‘ve read through some other forums and seen a few issues, but I’ve come to trust the members of this forum more than most. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
