Earlier this week, I picked up a new Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded in black stainless. When I saw it in the case, I had to have it. I had seen pics of black stainless pistols before, but they did no justice to the pistol. I took it out to the range today and ran a quick 200 rounds through it, a mix of UMC hardball and JHP. Function was 100%, no failures of any sort. Exterior finish is excellent. Interior finish is good with some scour marks on the interior of the slide. Fit is generally very good, with only a couple of small things keeping it from being excellent. Accuracy is excellent, the sights are easily acquired and the pistol shoots point of aim out to 25m. The trigger is very good and compares favorably with my Kimber. I don't particularly care for FLGRs, but I plan on leaving it stock for the foreseeable future because it has pretty much everything else I want on a "day to day" 1911. Here's a pic.
