Wow! I must have really lucked out!
Bought a Springfield Mil-Spec in early '03, liked it so well I bought another, when I decided I really wanted SS for CC, I bought the third one.
With a total of 15,000 rounds to date, I have yet to experience my first hiccup. IMO the Mil-Spec changes to the original G.I issue, (which I started shooting 53 years ago) are the important ones, beveled mag well, higher sights, Titanium firing pin (not required but a better idea than another lawyer engineered safety gadget) and the lowered ejection port, which is simply going back to the way JMB designed it in the first place, (Army made him raise it, before they would accept it so it wouldn't disturb shooters to the right, on open training ranges.)
All three of mine will readily group under 2.5" at 25 yards, and with 70 year old eyes that's about my current limit anyhow.
I use 230 grain FMJ only in my .45's because that's the way JMB finally designed them to use, (originally lighter faster, but the Army wanted heavier slower).
The 15,000 plus rounds fired included a lot of WWB and Wolf, no problems.
I've owned easily over a hundred 1911's in my life, from Gold Cup Colts on down, and in my opinion the springfield Mil-Spec is one of the best values for a General Purpose 1911 I've ever encountered.
My current use is CC, SD, HD casual target practice and the occasional murder of a Rock or a tin can. And the Mil-Specs have been great!
If I were still competing, there are certainly other models and brands I'd be looking very hard at, but as it is I'm quite satisfied.
And it's nice to know that if I ever do encounter problems, springfield will solve them for me, all I'll have to do is send it to them!
I cannot recommend them highly enough to someone looking for a general purpose 1911 ... regardless of price!
Well, as always JMVHO, YMMV and if so, that's okay too!
