imschur Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I know through the years they have been up and down with the quality of their 1911's. What their status today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Very good, my son has the basic GI and it is a solid pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmurff Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 The TRP and the EMP cover almost all the needs in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 There was a compact Springfield Armory 1911 that caught my eye at Cabelas. I could be in trouble ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Was it real small, the 3" barrel? Sounds like the EMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyN Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have two that I bought in 2007. A GI in Armory Coat Green and a Stainless Stell Mil-Spec. The are both nice looking and shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I just picked up my first 1911 A1. My dad has one and I really like it so I found a used one at a local shop and picked it up Friday. I am thinking it is a MIL-SPEC model not the GI. It has had some work done to it I think? Any one familiar with Springfield A1s ? It has a polished feed ramp and barrel throat,full length guide rod , beveled magazine well and a delta style hammer, it holds 8 rounds in the mag also. I believe these are Mil-Spec items. It has a STI polymer trigger and a ambidextrous thumb safety and Houge Grips.I wish to go back to a standard safety and Checkered wood grips. I kind of would like a trigger not plastic as well the STI unit may work fine but I am thinking no plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 lets see some pictures of this thing, inside and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have been busy working on this thing I have owned it for 1 week she was used and after getting inside it is a very low milage 1911. However I had a look and feel I wanted so. I disasembled everything and sanded it smooth to a 400 grit wet/dry then bead blasted the frame and slide. repolished the barel throat & feed ramp. I replaced the Houge grip with the factory Cocobolo wood. The trigger is being replaced with a Wilson combat unit and the grip safety is being replace with a high beaver tail unit. Both should be in next week. Also I ordered a LPA adjustable rear sight to work with the factory dovetail cut :thumb:I am going to put the STI trigger and low beaver tail on my fathers 1911 GI model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyN Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have two Springfield Armory 1911s. A GI in Armory Coat Green and a Stainless Steel Mil-Spec. Both are nice guns, but the GI's sights are a bit hard for my old eyes. That is why I like the Mil-Spec better. My other 1911 is a Les Baer Premier II.
