Springfield 1911 Micro Compact...

[lightsdarkness]

I just went to look at one and was ready to put the money down but the federal background check is down. I will have to wait til tomorrow.

The price I got its $575 OTD. Its the GI model. It sounds like a good deal.

Is there anything I should look out for. I'm new to 1911's. What holster to get and what mags are good. Any info is great. I plan on picking it up tomorrow.

i have 2 chip mccormick 7 round mags for mine. no troubles with them at all. only problem ive ever had with mine was something was up with the extractor. caused stove pipes. put a new one in it and no more problems.

Well I picked it up and can't wait to shoot it. I have to get some new dies now. I can't wait to customize it a little when its broken in. I am going to order giraffe bone grips just for the sake of saying it.

What are some good upgrades to make?

That is awesome. I'm laughing my ass of. Rep for that. "Yeah, I run giraffe bone on all my 1911s..." Too good.

I'm probably going with a Commander length, 4".

What do you carry anyway? I saw it in your holster but I think we were too busy talking about Baltimore.

I've never owned a shortie but everything I've read the owner's claim that EVERYTHING must be perfect to function 100%. The same word keep's repeating in all post they are finicky, I figure if JMB meant for a 1911 to be a shortie? He would have made one. That's why I stick with full size, if you can conceal a shortie you can conceal a full size just as easy.
