After putting about 3k rounds through my Springfield, I decided that this pistol didn't have all the features that I wanted in a 1911 and have decided to sell it after I bought a much more suitable replacement.
The "Loaded" model is a step above the Springfield's "Mil-spec," but it comes with all the bells and whistles, like:
5" Stainless steel barrel
Beavertail grip safety
Beveled mag well
Fixed combat tritium night sights
Forward slide serrations
Ambi thumb safeties
Aluminum match triggers
Full-length guide rod
FTF $700 OBO in/around Santa Clara SPF
The buyer will pay for the DROS
I replaced Springfield's crappy 2-piece full-length guide rod with a much nicer 1-piece. This does mean that you need a bushing wrench to field-strip the gun, so I'll throw in a spare that I have. It is a little more difficult to disassemble, but you won't have to worry about the rod loosening and drifting out on the range.
While the standard Springfield wood grips aren't bad, I've replaced them several times (and subsequently misplaced them) and it now sports some nice rubber grips. They're great for controlling the gun under recoil.
Now I have taken it to several classes, so the parkerizing is wearing a little thin on some of the edges, and I admit that I did put the idiot scratch on the frame, but it can still go for quite a while before it needs a refinish.
About the worst I've ever treated it was letting it run for about 300 rounds without relubing it. Despite that, it performed flawlessly with ball ammo, and I've had no trouble running golden sabers through it too.
Comes in the original box with mags, manual, mag pouch, paddle holster, nylon brush, red chamber flag, and a nylon bushing wrench.
