This is a great pistol. I've had it for about seven years, and find it to be both reliable and inherently accurate. I never use the novel little safety on the mainspring housing.

I was looking for an authentic 1911 A1 and I found it in this Springfield 1911. A great looking pistol that shoots excellent. I put the black grips that came with it on. I love the look and the feel. Glad I bought this one. Also, thank you Budsgunshop for the best price I found!

It’s a great pistol shoots good feels solid. Anyone who doesn’t know about 1911s they can be a little difficult to field strip and reassemble for cleaning. Great gun it was my first 1911.

Really nice entry for me into the 1911 world! Once I got used to the site window, I was grouping very well at 25 yards. Mine has cycled the first 500 rounds flawlessly and is rather insensitive to any difference between FMJ and JHP bullets. I am keeping the plastic grips on until I'm worthy of the Cocobolo grips!

This is not my first purchase from Bud's and it won't be my last. The order process is easy and I had my springfield 1911 in my hands in less than a week. I wish finding time to shoot it was as easy to find than it was to order from Bud's. Thanks everyone at Bud's from a very happy customer. Jay

Have had this for several years now. Service from Bud's was a bit better than advertised. As far as the 45 goes, the Springfield functions flawlessly with any ammo I've tried, and with any mag I've tried, has proven to be an excellent carry gun, finish has held up well and while I love the look of it, it's not so pretty that it becomes a permanent vault queen. This is a handgun to be carried and used. And the price? it's only gone up since I bought it, considering it now as an investment. Couldn't be happier, would definitely do it again. Thanks, Buds.

Excellent 1911! I had bought a Colt series 70 and this pistol is every bit as good and maybe better. Good sights, finish and trigger. I liked it so much that I also bought a stainless steel version of the same pistol. Bud's was great as always.

I like this 1911 so much that it is my pistol of choice. I can hit a 6" target as far as 25 yards away with one handed. I wish I bought this in a long time ago. Thanks Springfield!

Great 1911 that shoots everything I feed it. Looks great especially with those nice Coco Bolo (wood) grips as shown on the images. The gun comes with a second set of polymer grips for those of us who don't want to ruin the wood on the range. The 45 ACP is a mighty caliber and I love to shoot it. Springfield Armory is doing a great job on this Mil Spec gun and I love the looks of the full length 5" A1 type 1911. I am very happy with buds customer service. Saving money for an M1A Scout Squad Walnut from Springfield Armory and buying this handgun has definitely solidified my positive impression of SA. Thanks Buds

Owning so many 1911s over many decades,I've lost track of the number owned. Given that, I didn't expect to be surprised by much. Boy was I wrong about that. Have always been a fan of the SAI line of 1911s and had several full custom pistols built by SACS with fantastic results. Only had to use the near legendary CS one time, but it did not disappoint. This mil-spec on review is a tightly fitted firearm. Very good and smooth frame / slide fit. Barrel locks up tight with a good fit of the hood and it does , in fact, touch the breech face on lock up. Barrel bushing tight but just loose enough to remove with my fingers. I have good hand strength so may not be the same for all. All internals fit well and function is good. Extracter tensioned properly and ejector tuned so as to place spent casings in a nice pile. So far no surprises, but now for the MSH. After all these years of forgeting to install the take-down thing in the msh, I could not find it in the box. I looked and looked, not there. After I quickly fabricated one, much to my surprise, it seems SAI has eliminated the ils on the MSH. Good for them always disliked that feature. I do not need to lock the function of my weapons. I have a good gun safe. It has fired only 200 rounds at the range, but all flawlessly. The process for me has begun. I hjad on hand many parts to fit to this mil-spec. After doing some work for my LGS, I was rewarded with as new Ed Brown tool steel hammer, sear and disconnect. 10-8 NM rear sight, S&A beavertail installed, grieder trigger, wilson bulletproof thumb safety, 10-8 slidestop and it is now a 1911 I can use. None of what I did is necessary, I had all but the beavertail grip safety on hand, but it does make a nice 1911 a nearly perfect gov't model. The finishing touch will some front strap checkering, a dovetail front sight and the VIS releived for the lower barrel lugs to not crash in to, a "bowtie" cut to many. So for around $1K, I will have a 1911 to rival models costing much more. Only because I can perform the work myself is this possible. My advice is if you need all this on your 1911, buy the gun with it already modded, maybe the TRP, much cheaper than sending it away. The gun is fine as it was recieved, I just can't leave well enough alone. Thats all I've got. Thanks to Buds for a good price and fast shipping

I shot the Springfield today and I'm very happy with all concepts of this 45. It has a great balance, sights are clear, slide is tight, the finish and grips are perfect. It fired very good groups at 25 yards and it shot flaulessly with no problems. I carried a 1911 in the military and would have trusted this Springfield as my side arm.

Nobody can have just one. The first one was so good I had to buy another, I'm going to send this one to SACS for a few minor upgrades. Like always Buds delivers. This is my 4th buy from Buds, number 5 coming soon.

This gun is great. I have always been a fan of the polymer pistols, but the 1911 feels like it was made for you hand. I have fired several types of ammo and all have functioned flawlessly. The slim design of the 1911 makes it quite easy to carry concealed in a IWB or OWB holster, even though it is a little heavy. The pistol runs like a sewing machine. Highly accurate as you would guess. Bud's service is great. The pistol arrived quickly and the transfer was quick and painless.

Great fire arm. Smooth and sold and extra grips were a nice surprise. SA had an incentive too for a free range bag and extra mags which I was able to take advantage of. Had always wanted a quality 1911 and this pistol fits the bill. Thanks Buds!

I have had this gun for 3 years now. It's by far my favorite of all my handguns even more then my beretta m9 and my glock 22 gen 4. Accuracy out of the box was spot on. It only failed to fire one time on the first mag with a light pin strike. I have used multiple brand mags they have all worked. It's just a great gun.

I've got to hand it to Buds Gun Shop....my on-line purchase of this 45 ACP Springfield 1911 Mil Spec was 5-Star, hassle free. Everything from the initial order and payment instructions to the shipping, went smoothly and transpired exactly as explained by Buds. I was kept informed of my order status and shipping occurred within the time frames I was told to expect. Once the order shipped, Buds sent me all the tracking numbers I needed to stay informed on the status of my order, even after it left their hands. The portion of my order that could come to my residence arrived earlier than I expected and was packed neatly with the correct items in the correct amounts as ordered. My new Springfield 1911 arrived at my local FFL the next day. Again as expected.  Upon inspecting my new 1911 it was all that I expected and a little more. The first thing that struck me was the quality of the Crossed Cannon Springfield Grips that came installed on the pistol. The sharp, well defined logo and checkering cut into the deep contrasting grain of the cocobolo wood had me second guessing a set of custom grips I am having prepared elsewhere. The second thing that caught my attention on this mil spec was the uniform parkerized finish. Not a scratch or blemish was found anywhere and I do love the satin look and feel it gives. The fit was perfectly tight as well. No rattles. Slide was tight to the frame as was the thumb safety and slide release. The trigger was as crisp as a factory heavy trigger can be with no discernable creep. VERY HIGH QUALITY for a "mil-spec" 1911. The "extras" I had not expected were what my Springfield came cased with......2 magazines, an extra set of grips (these are made of black checkered composite with the Springfield logo), a composite double magazine belt holster and a form fit "yaqui" style belt holster made with the same material... both of which are perfect for me to use at the range. Thank you Buds for delivering great experience and thank you Springfield for producing a quality product. I'll take it from here.

I now have both the parkerized and stainless mil-spec models. Great gun for the money. Would highly recommend.
