Springfield stainless milspec

[jimbo555]

Recent purchase.First fullsize 1911 for me, very pleased with the accuracy and out of the box reliability so far. Nothing I have owned is as accurate out to 25yards.In fairness to everything else I have owned,they all had shorter barrels and many were pocket guns. The one exception was a fullsize m&p9 that was close,but I couldn't warm up to the trigger.

Congrats, awesome. I am looking for the same right now. If you ever sell her.... lemmie know! Fat chance I'm sure.

I have one just like it, you have good taste. You'll enjoy it for long time.

 

[jimbo555]

Thank you. Not thinking of selling, next I'm trying to figure out how to carry it in the Georgia heat!

Guyabara shirts are your friend!

Jimbo, welcome to the wonderful, if somewhat addictive, world of 1911s. I carry a commander size 1911 (STI Ranger) in a Crossbreed Super Tuck Deluxe IWB with a Ares Ranger belt. The Crossbreed spreads the weight and combined with a good belt it's no problem. I'm in Texas so I can relate to the heat and my setup works comfortably. TexanScott is right about Guyabara shirts. They are loose, light weight, and provide concealment.

Also in a hot as H E double hockey sticks location and carry a 1911 in a DM Bullard Bodyguard (OWB) with a light cover shirt.

What I need is a holster store,where you go in and they have every brand for you to try on and see which one is best for you!

Nice looking Stainless Mil Spec Springfield Armory 1911 you got there Jimbo! they do shoot really great.

SA also made a few Mil Spec's in nickel finish. As far as I know these are all .38 Super. They came with fake pearl grips from the factory. I like the grips that came on yours.

Thank you C&L. Springfield also supplied a set of black plastic grips,but I prefer the wood. Yet another great pic I might add, Is that a colt to the left in the pic?
