Springfield Loaded models are, IMHO, the best bang for the buck on the market. I am talking $1000 range 1911's. I think Dave has a sticky here on lapping the slide, might wanna touch base with him if that gun needs it. I need to do the same since my Champion frame was replaced. My black stainless now has 800 rounds through it, is tight, yet the slide feels like it's on ball bearings. I don't have another 1911 that feels like that. You have the same slide/frame configuration, with a little luck and TLC you will have the same "ball bearing" feeling. Good luck with that gun, not that you need it. People will approach you at the range cause the model is so good looking.

Hmmmmm its a springer loaded model.....did u expect a bad pistol? I have a three inch micro compact loaded model and can say with confidence that springer does do loaded models "right". Neve a ftf fte....or failure of any kind. Just since i got the dw cco, the micro has sat in the safe. Beautiful new pisto, enjoy it! Ohhh.... Its only blasphemy if you don't use the word SWEET before Jeeeezus!! This time ur forgiven! Lol!!

My guess is someone doesn't own a Dan Wesson. Lol.


Nice pistol though.

Nope, don't own one, but have been looking at the Valor line. Truth be told an instructor had a Valor as an EDC and I wasn't impressed. My black stainless went through the Springfield Custom Shop and is light years ahead of his off the shelf Valor. But I still want a Valor, and if it doesn't meet up to my black stainless, the Springfield Custom Shop will fix it.
