Got me a new Pistol Happy Quarantine Day !
A Springfield 1911. Loaded, 9mm, S/S.
I like the 1911 Framed 9mm, Barrel is a Bull Barrel, thicker because of the smaller caliber rounds.
I missed the sale with the extra Clips and some other stuff, go figure, but I got a decent deal on this one, had to go to a store I don't like, but they were the only ones with the gun a wanted. I read this one was going to be removed from eh California Acceptable Listing... WTF !
10 day waiting period, 6 more days, then off to the range with the Son-n-Law !
Add ons to come...
-A Magwell, not sure which one yet but thinking either Techwell or S&A.
-New Grips when she arrive, thinking Ebony Grips but I like the Houge Smooth Aluminum Painted Black, AlumaGrips look good too.
Both are already set up for the Techwell Magwell.
-Sights, will try the Target Sights out at the range but thinking I want a set of Trijicon Night Sights, even during the day the help.
Nice! My Colt Government 9mm 1911 is my favorite shooter right now. Almost no recoil with 124gr Coated Lead RN at 1175fps for a fairly hot standard load. The Colt Govt came with the Novak fiber optic which works great for a range gun. Does the Springfield magazine have the spacer at the rear or front of the magazine? I have 4 MecGar 10-round mags with the front spacer and they will not hold the slide open on the last round. The Colt has the spacer at the rear of the magazine.
I have been toying with getting a couple of 38 Super magazines and barrel to have a conversion gun. There is always that option.
