Agree, I have both but prefer the clean look of the sharp edge covering the pin.

Congrats!

1911's are just really nice guns! My favorite handgun in the safe might be one of my S&W revos but for autoloaders ... nothing comes close to the class, style and sweet shooting of that classic JMB design.

Ok, range report and dirty pic. The gun ran flawlessly, not a single hiccup. 100 rds of Blazer Brass, and 20 of Federal HST 230n gr. I did have to nudge the rear sight a bit to the right, very little. Awesome, first time shooting 45 ACP, it pushes but it's very manageable, especially out of a SS gun. Loving the 1911 so far!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

That's not dirty enough, get back out there and run another 2-3 hundred rounds through it!

I had no doubt that Springer would run flawlessly.
