Thats all fine and dandy. Look I have worked around cars my whole life. In my late 20's and early 30's built supercharged streetracing engines. Heck I am prolley one of the last people here in Metro Detroit who car rebuild carburetors...now.
But believe me I am fittin to find out once and for all. And if it was my fsult or whoever its gonna be known. But I know this. As I tear this mil spec down it aint all that.
1. I had seperation between the slide and frame along with a " wobbly" frame out the box. I know people say "Thats just cosmetic". No, thats a standard of quality issue. Period.
2. A plastic sear and trigger. Plastic really? So you cant spend 5 more bucks to uphold at least a median higher standard of quality to go with the industry standard that is METAL. I own nothing but basic 1911's, my friends for the most part own basic 1911's. My A.O 1911A1 from Kahr Arms machining is impeccable. And cost 100 bucks less than the Mil-junk.
Heck my buddys Colt 1911A1 " Government" was the same price as the Mil-Junk and his internals, frame and finish blow Springfields out the water...
When you use plastic parts in replacment for metal or industry standard. All is you are telling me is you are more concerned with the bottom line and cutting corners to save a buck. So if you gonna cut corners there...where else you gonna cut corners.
Truthfully I really dont care anymore. This is the first, only and last Springfield product I ever buy. Now its about to become a 700 dollar guinea pig cause I am about to really put it under scrutiny. As far as I am concerned if it goes in the trash it goes in the trash. I dont think its worthy of service and and chances are I am pulling it as my everyday carry and putting my AO 1911A1 with GI sights into service.
I learned my lesson...if it sounds too good to be true...it prolly is...and when buying 1911's spend the extra 100 bucks and buy the ORNIGAL buy a Colt...
