Is this a good 1911?
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.

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.it's only metal, we can out think it....

Re: Is this a good 1911?
thats the way to go for a starter 1911. I always want to reach threw the screen and smack people when they get PT1911's or RIA's
Though admittedly I made that mistake myself.
