somewhere reacently i saw or heard reference to springfield bringing out a competitor to the "ww2 GI basic" style 1911s being marketed by other firms (colt, Auto Ord, and to a much lesser extant High standard coming to mind) in the case of the sprinfield this would mean one of their "Mil-spec" models with NON-3-dot sights, brown rather than black plastic grip scales, and possibly a MSH with a lanyard loop.
anybody out there know anything about this?? the springfield website didn't mention such a critter when i was over there a week or so ago, but if this model exists it would greatly aid me in my decision making as to what 1911A1 to get first. b/c i want my first new 1911 to be a close match to the 1943 colt i had a few years back (gave it as a gift to a friend) but for various reasons i do not want to get the "WW2 commerative" colt.
well thank you for your time.
i want to know either way, if this bird DON'T exist i guess i'll just have to suck it up and put Walnut or brown plastic grips on a regular Mil-spec... lol
