I first bought this Springfield Armory Mil Spec Operator Full Rail 1911 (a mouth full!) brand new from LAPRAC in 2002 for on-duty carry - did a few upgrades. Later went on with other handguns and traded it for my buddy's XDM .40 5" Tactical in 2008/9.
Recently, I regretted my decision and really missed it. So, I called my buddy who had traded it with his co-worker, and who later sold it to another co-worker. Make a long story short, I got it back Monday with some cash and .223 ammo. It's like an having an old friend back that we should have never parted. Already spending on magazines, holsters, springs, grips....
Here my ol' pal...via android cell (empty magazine - empty chamber):


Didn't realize it's so rare nowadays. I think SA stop making this model in 2002 or 2003...
