Budsgunshop.com has a Springfield Armory MC Operator 1911 for $1059. Way better than the $1300+ you see for retail lately.

I know a lot of people on the forums love this gun, so I thought I'd post a link.

EDIT: Sold already. Sorry!!

Wow, nice price however not in stock. Places I've called have been waiting close to a year for their shop to receive one. One shop offered me the opportunity to put down only $50 to place an order instead of the 1/3 they usually require only because they have no idea when they would receive one.

Wow, it sold that fast? I can't find it anymore either. How much is the place offering? If it's higher than Bud's price I wouldn't pay for it, IMO.

I see these things go for $1300, and I would much rather pick up a TRP for that price.

Just purchased mine last weekend for $1250 after shooting one for the first time the day before. After searching and calling to no avail regarding stock on hand, found a local shop that had one available for $1275. Able to talk down $25, and keep my sanity by not having to wait for the next MC Operator to come around.

what differentiates this vs the other mid-high end 1911?

If you are comparing to a Loaded:

• Pachmyr grips
• Light-rail
• Green frame
• GI-length guide rod (instead of the 2-peice full-length rod that most mid-range SA 1911s have)
• Stainless barrel bushing

Comparing to a Mil-spec it also has:

• Most of the above
• Novak-style night sights
• Ambi safety
• Beavertail grip safety
• Flat main-spring housing
• Long aluminum trigger

I think that's about it. I just got a Loaded myself, and sort of wish that I had found one of these instead, especially at $1059!

Everything an operator needs was the idea I reckon. oh this is one probably made specifically for those special forces guys that get a $1300 stipend for a .45 their choice. hehe maybe a SEAL team operator has to goto his 2nd choice. "damn you Buds, now the team is going to call me Kimber for the rest of my service!"

Special forces/team 1911s cost double that or more.

I coulda sworn i read 1300 stipend. maybe the 2x includes method of carry, accessories, extra mags, etc.
