Springfield GI 1911 A1 is now mine
« on: July 03, 2006, 02:42:32 AM »
Well I did it after some common scense hit me...  The absolute best groups I have ever fired came from a 1911 A1 of another brand.  The SA GI replaces a Taurus Tracker 455SH4" that for the life of me can't figure out why it had such a hard trigger pull... felt like 14 pounds.  And fooling with those steller clips was a joke for reloading.  It was a nice light firearm with its Titainium 23 oz weight, but if its just purdy and can't be handled well then its just a paper weight.

After watching Todd Jarrett IPSC Pistol Grip Lesson video on line I realized what I was missing AGAIN and that was a quality firearm such as the Springfield Armory GI 1911 A1.

My new SA GI 1911 A1 is sitting atop of a 16" round stone lazy susan that made at work.  I figured it gives it a nice back drop and reflection :D  My wife asked, "NOW will this be the last one?"... ah honey it will be for a while, but Springfield has quite a few I want.... one at a time :D

I've got the hots for their long slide 45 ACP just because.

I have owned many a handgun including several differant 1911's in the past.  But for many years was stuck on Glocks and went thru several differant calibers, until recently I went back to the 1911-A1.  I simply shoot much better groups with the 1911 than any other handgun I have ever owned, and my signature line says it all.
