My new Springfield 1911

[igotdiesel2]

Last week I bought my first gun in almost 20 years. It is a Springfield Armory Range Officer in 9mm. Last Friday I shot 186 rounds through it. I used 5 different flavors of ammo and it preformed flawlessly the entire time. I had one problem with one of the magazines that it came with. I called Springfield on Friday and they are sending me a new one as we speak. I went with Stainless because I am going to shoot IDPA with it and it will live most of its life inside a plastic holster. I can't get over how tight this gun is. I am sure I will get years and years of joy out of this new pistol. I bought it at USDS, Chad and his crew are a great bunch of guys to do business with. Can't say enough good things about them. -Jason

Ironically my last gun I bought was a 1911, well a 1991A1 at least. -Jason

I have. One too. Fine pistol, fun to shoot. Mine does not like my reloads, though.

I really want a 1911 in 9mm. I'm too busy at the time though buying smith and wesson wheel guns

Nice!! If you are having mag troubles I always suggest Wilson Combat mags they are generally the gold standard for 1911 magazines.

Thanks, I forgot to put in there I had them on order. I am very familiar with this gold standard. I have the good ol 47D's for my .45. I now have 3 for this gun. I didn't have them at the time of shooting it last week. I am going to shoot it today with the Wilson's and see how she runs. -Jason

The guys at USDS are top notch. Great customer service and great prices.

I bought my soon to be wife the exact same gun and bought her 10 MecGar mags for competition, they all worked flawlessly. I also use MecGars in my 38 Super exclusively, trust them enough to use them when shooting the World Championship in Action Pistol where a single one round malfunction will move you from the top to the bottom of the ranks.

Congrats a a great gun!
