to shove it!!!!. Am on their email list and just got a new one stating Springfield will no longer do business with Dicks or field and streams stores. Guess I will be buying one of their new 10mm 1911’s soon!

I wouldn't buy Springfield at Dick's or anywhere else.

Good for Springfield. The leadership at Dicks have lost their minds. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Goes to show they are trying to get our attention back after that last debacle.

Good for Springfield.
On the subject of your purchase of a Springfield 10mm. Don't buy it sight unseen. I ordered a mil-spec 1911 from Springfield to a local shop in 2017. The gun worked okay but it was disappointing. It was a gun I never would have bought from a case if I could have looked it over.
First, the slide and the lower didn't meet flush above the (mil-spec abbreviated) beaver tail. The slide was proud of the lower by almost 1/16th ". Second, the slide serrations were messed up on one side. The last couple cuts on the left side were kinda splayed at the bottom edge of the slide. Totally un-fixable cosmetic f**k-up.
Slide to lower fit was very tight. Too tight, really. It locked up once - maybe galling is the term - and I just polished the pieces together with toothpaste and it never happened again.
Anyway, these days, one needs to look over Springfield gear, in hand, before buying.
I complained to Springfield via email but they didn't respond. But what would they have said? Sorry? Ha.

hdwihit,
What constitutes an extreme view is typically a value judgement. That is to say, by your definition, anything you wouldn't be willing to accept as a compromise is an extreme view.
Your remark is un-quantifiable
Sorry if my comment seems antagonizing, but to millions of anti-gunners the belief that private citizens have the right own firearms is an extreme view.
What is your "functional" compromise with such antis to facilitate the "function" of our "system?"
After decades of observation I'd say the contest is crystal clear. Anti gunners want guns banned. Pro gunners want guns to be legal for law abiding citizens. Everyone in-between simply constitutes the group of people who don't care that much about the issue because, patently, no compromise will ever end the conflict between pro and anti gun forces.
