Let me start by saying i LOVE my Springfield Operator... Love it!... when it's working. Long story short - I picked up my operator a few years ago - before the TRP was released. It's Great... except no matter what the slide won't stay back on an empty mag but 1 out of every 50 or 60 times. I've tried new mags from the factory, new hi production mags, and some new high end custom mags. It's not the mags. Second it smokestacks. Different kinds of ammo - hollow point, soft point jacketed, FMJ, wad cutters. Cheap ammo, expensive ammo, hand loaded ammo. It's not the ammo. Third, accuracy - It's pretty dead on but it has issues (again it's not the ammo it happens with it all) from time to time. I contacted Springfield and they pretty much told me it was all my fault but if I didn't think so that I should file part of my weapon down so that it fed better. Thank you no. YOU can file it down when I send it back but I'm not doing it. Oh and for the record this gun has done this since I got it. First 100 rounds out of the box. - The latest issue has put me over the edge - ejection failures and misfires. So now I want to replace it. I want to spend about what I spent which was around 1G - I'm looking for your ideas. Oh and i have to have a rail. I have too many accessories to just give them up when I get a new gun. I'd like a 1911 but I'm not married to it. If i don't get a 1911 this time I'll end up getting one sooner or later but I prefer a 1911. So I'm casting my line to see if I get any hits on this inquiry of recommendations.
