I love my 911. I bought the most expensive one available though. I really want a couple more. At least one more for the wife. I wont pay $1000 off gun broker though.

having chk"ed out from the goings on period where the 911 saw popularity, (that i assume is2010-2020), what was the avg gunstore price tag? guessing again., the 911 discon was approx2018, right? ...if you were to guess, why would a company that was and had been leaders in weapon design and established so well, abandon those models to usher in whats gotta be #1 most acquard and least draw of interest (sd line i think its labeled) weapons of the post covid-could still be rolling in profits....there it is--solved it i think - polymer profits since the consumer will cave to whats left available!

The 911 was a copy of a copy of a copy; Colt had the Mustang first, then Sig came out with the 238/938, Kimber followed with their Micro series, and Springfield came late to the game with the 911. Came out in the mid 20teens, discontinued last year. Probably wasn’t a great seller.

And you have to clean up your writing…I have no idea what you’re trying to say. “SD line”? You mean the XD line, that predated the 911 by 15 years or so?
 
I have a feeling it was sales volume and covid supply chain problems that led to its demise. For sure SA has consolidated to models that sell the best and making incremental upgrades to them. Hopefully, as supply chain issues resolve, the 911 will re-emerge. I love mine despite not being big on manual safeties for defense.
 
I paid about 540 for mine, but @HansGruber is right, wasn’t Springfield’s design. Is a purdy piece though. They had a lot of production problems with the 911. I’ve had a few conversations with support about the 911. Mine had a 40% FTF/FTE both, out of the box. Springfield polished it up, reamed the chamber and it runs like no one’s business now. I’ve never had a Springfield returned to me that didn’t run flawless when it came back. If that type of work was done from the start, it probably wouldn’t have been such a money pit.

My TRP just came back and is still grinding away after a couple of mags. I know there’s usually a break in period but man that thing just doesn’t want to run.
Back it goes.

appreciate the details - very surprising and disappointing to hear. All that and 'normal chipping' !?! My patience has just been motivated to wait out this insanity we are seeing and hearing. Not that my finances were in any shape to absorb expense of funds anyhow! it appears that most of these arenas aren't really returning to what most would like - and not so long ago was standard in most business interactions.

I had the same problem but usually i squitned out the typing because i misplaced the glasses i should have had thru it all. Whats really odd is that what i struggle to accomplish with todays devices, I dont give a second thought if i take the time to turn on a PC. And usually wrap things up, in a snap....got me right where they want me, they do!

I’m 50/50. It’s a pain to email my pictures to myself then copy to the laptop just to make a post. Easier to do it right from the phone.
