Springfield Professional 9mm

[skyscraper]

Just got an email that springfield is going to be making the PRO in 9mm.

Probably not going to be added to the roster, I'd assume.

It CAN'T be added to the roster.

At that price, I think it would be best to get the Springfield Loaded 9mm (which is on the roster), then pay to smith it up to Professional standards, whatever those may be. But is it actually 2K more goodness than the Loaded 9mm?

If you buy a 9mm Loaded Target and spend an additional $1K you can have a very, very nice gun. Won't have the nice lettering and I'm sure some of the fit of the Pro is better, maybe more accurate at 25 yards, but it depends what you want in a gun. I'm not sure the rail works for competition. I've never liked the location of SA's stock thumb safeties. A 4-1/2 lb. trigger is heavier than you want for most competitions. Stock SA grips look nice, but checkered wood grips are overrated for hard, sweaty use. It would be a handsome range gun and heavily used out of the holster that finish might take on a nice patina; our SS Springfields look like yuck from holster wear, but I don't expect patina from any tool be it a hammer or a gun. Nice gun for a collection.

We have one Dan Wesson (a CBOB) and it's a very nice gun at 1/2 the price.

You could buy a Loaded 9mm and a loaded .45 and have change back...

If I had money to burn, I'd buy the 9mm Pro. My 9mm Loaded is hands down my favorite 9mm to shoot since I picked one up.

6-7 round mags?

I would love to see a full rail 9mm...

I'd rather spend my money on a Dan Wesson or Les Baer. **** Springfield, marketing a 9mm Pro is nothing more than a gimmick that few will fall for. The only real Pro is a .45!

Same. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Not many railed 1911s on the roster; maybe even none? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I got that email today. Totally not fair to tease us like that.

Hey everybody! Look a really cool gun that you can't buy.
