I have to choose one and having a hard time doing so.
Both in stainless.
The Milspec is a 3 hour roundtrip drive. Meet in person, come home with it. Comes with three different grips, and the plastic holsters and mag carriers, few others extras. It has an idiot mark and frame stamped made in Brazil...I know this does not affect anything but aesthetics. But it *kinda* matters to me. Its 600 face to face, plus the 30ish in gas.
The GI stainless I prefer the looks, from the serrations to the non lowered and flared port. Frame stamped Geneseo, IL which also kind of matters to me. It only comes with one mag, one grip. This is 585 plus 35 with transfer fees.
I know it makes no sense, but I think I like/want the GI more...despite the fact that the milspec is almost sure to be a better shooter- lowered flared ejection port, way better sights....also saves me money as it comes with 4 magazines, and the wood grips I would have to buy for the GI. Also, just a slight bonus on the Milspec, but it is nice not having to do the paperwork and wait the 3 days to 'cool down'.
Really having a tough time deciding between em...milspec makes so much more sense....but I like the GI more...
These are going to be for the range, but also they will need to be 100%....they will be used for home defense. I've heard Springfield stands behind their product if either one has an issue.
