Lightly Used 9mm Springfield 1911-A1

[Rick McC.]

I picked this one up at a very good price, and shortly thereafter did a detail strip and cleaning. I also installed a C&S light pull sear spring, and one of those slip-on Wilson mag wells (I had it laying around in the parts drawer). The trigger pull averaged right at 3 pounds even on my Lyman digital trigger pull gauge.

I then shot both it and the Wilson Professional at the next IDPA practice. It shot very well, with recoil about the same as shooting a .22. I was able to point it at the targets COM, pull the trigger as fast as possible, and keep all the shots “zero down.”. This thing may just turn out to be my new IDPA gun!

Also of interest to me was the fact that I couldn’t find “Made in Brazil” anywhere on it.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the adjustable rear sight. Those things just look fugly to me!

I concur! I don’t like them either.

Agreed, those sights are ugly. Wait, who uses sights anyhow?

Naw not really... dress her up in a nice set of stocks and get rid of those sights and she will be the talk of the town.
