      US or Brazil finished frame? What are the first 2 letters in your serial?

      Take your bets, I guess Brazil.

          yeah it's not an NM. but frame/slide fitment is great. wouldn't have purchased if it wasn't a good copy.

              One thing I've learned with Springfield with all the ones we've sold, you have to judge the individual gun not necessarily the model tier. If your Loaded is good, then that's awesome for you, you'll enjoy her!

                    ammo bros in ontario (best gun store IMO)

                    they had a stainless 9mm
                    stainless and parked mil specs

                    they said they get parked and stainless loaded models in all the time so you might want to call over there every week to see when they get one in.
