Is this a good 1911?

[BandanaBandit1]

hey everyone im thinking about buying my first 1911 (first semi auto pistol too) and was looking at this particular model, a Springfield Armory GI 1911 .45 In Stainless, and for $550.00 it dosent seem like a bad price. any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. PS Im looking for a 1911 similar to the ones issused to the GIs in WW2 only in stainless. heres a pic.

if the store's not open, camp out in front, and wait. that's a great price for a great gun. you suck.

short of the roll stampings, and the ss in this case the gi spec's are a very close knock off of the ww2 issue pistols. the parkerized versions are almost a dead ringer of the pistols ithaca produced later in the war.
the lifetime warrenty that springfield offers isn't bad either.....though few need to use it.
all in all they are a very good value...however these days slightly less than when they were selling for 389.00 brand new.

Yes very good solid basic 1911, or great base for a build. Id buy that

Buy it, for that price, and springfields are good quality I would pick it up.
