First, my brother had the front sight on his Springfield 1911 fly off. My brother sent it in, they took care of it. Good customer service, no complaints. Then I had the gas system shoot loose on my M1A and exhibit radical amounts of vertical stringing, esp when using a tight brace sling. I sent it in. They offered to return it to factory spec for free or install a unitized gas system for just the price of the part. I have them install the unitized gas system. Good service, good turn around, very excited to have my M1A back. Get six rounds into sighting it in and the bolt roller falls off. That's when I find out about Springfield Bolt Roller Impact and start scrutinizing them. Admittedly a little biased, but having parts rattle or fly off my rifles gets old fast.
I've shot a couple different XDs. They're decent. But I am an established Glock guy. I shoot them okay. More importantly I not only trust them. So shooting the XD for me was underwhelming. I remember when they called it a Glock killer. Umm, no.
THEN I hear about this political stunt they pulled with the IFMA thing...
Nope, I'm done. I think before I invest any more time in the M1A I have, I will get the M1 Garand (made by the real Springfield Armory, BTW) I just inherited from my grandpa up and running. And I certainly won't be supporting Springfield in the future. There are better options that allow you to better support the industry (and your rights) than giving money to Springfield Armory.
