New to me Springfield
 

Hey Cotepians......Sorry I ain't been around, traveling and double Little League baseball duty have me hopping. Kids in general, you get it. Was up in SC, lotta rain, but did get a little video on the last day. This is the Springer I bought. Was gonna make a project out of it, but is shoots too nice so I might sell it and keep working on my Champion only. I'll be around more when season ends. Good news is the new cable is finally in, after five years, up in SC, so I will have constant internet when up there. Here's a vid to kill some time for ya....

Hey, welcome back! I was just thinking about you this morning - glad all is well and you've just been busy.

With regard to the SAI Custom Shop, I've heard they'll work on other makes of 1911. I know you really like the work they put out but would you choose them over say, Alchemy or Severns?

Nice video Joe. Nice pistola as well.

I don't think I put any of them over each other. It is so hard to choose cause of damn time frames. I cannot wait a year for a gun, that is just me. What I do prefer about SA Custom is if you have a problem with work they did and it has to go back you will not wait long, it gets priority. I do think Alchemy and other higher end shops offer more "cool" custom work. I want to put a French cut on a 1911, a flat serrate top.......that will be Alchemy. But I will take any Springfield Custom Shop build any day of any year, holster it and trust it. Guess it depends on what work you want done.

Thanks Caleb....what is your self defense round?

His self defense is running and hiding under the fridge...roaches do that :p

Hello, Joe
