I fell in love with the 1911 when I was in the Marine Corps back in 1978 (just turned 18) I don't know why I waited so long to buy one for myself. But the wait was well worth it. Outside of my online account with Buds, they don't know me and I do not get receive anything from them. I can not say enough about this gun or the buying experience I have had with Buds over the years. The action is smooth, the sights are good and it shoots straight and accurate. The grips are awesome for me but not everyone is the same hand size or the same hand strength find what works for you. The weight is not bad at all, every 45 has a kick as it should to keep you honest and remind you of what you are shooting. I love Springfield and the quality of the 1911. When I camp and pan for gold in the forest, the 1911 comes with me "always, no exception" because I trust it and it is reliable. I honestly have no cons about this Springfield 1911 (the only con unrelated to the Springfield itself, depending on where you live Ammo is not cheap anymore)

I bought this gun about 8 years ago and it's still my most favorite gun. It's heavy enough that it stays on target without an issue. Very accurate. Using it for home defense. Alittle too heavy to carry.

Awesome gun, heavy enough that it's easy to shoot but doesn't cause fatigue. Even my wife loves to shoot this gun. Grip and finish work great, has never jammed or stove piped ever. This is by far my favorite "heavy" gun to shoot. Easy to clean too even though it does require a tool for breakdown. I would buy this gun over and over again.

The front tritium sight was “dead” when it came in, but a call to Springfield and they quickly resolved the issue. After a few mods, I carried it as my duty weapon until retirement.

Fantastic! The overall quality is second to none. I’ve owned this gun for many years with no issues at all.

Another fine transaction with Buds again. This gun has become one of my favorites, truly a nail driver, very accurate and dependable. Pleased with the transaction speed.

I wanted a 1911 style pistol, but after reading too many horror stories about Colt's quality control and even worse customer service, I looked at alternatives made in the US. Springfield had great reviews, and a friend of mine had bought one of their mil-spec 1911's when they first came out. I remember it as a very nicely built gun, and it shot very well. He later sold it, and today he kicks himself for that decision. It was a FFL who first told me about Bud's, so I shopped here and got the best price. I wanted a 1911 with a steel frame, and the little bit of trade-off in weight between an alloy frame and a steel frame is simply not worth the sacrifice in overall long-term strength you get from steel. If I spend money on a firearm, I want it to still be around and in good shape for when my grandson inherits it. When my Springfield PX9109LP 1911 Loaded 7+1 45ACP 5" Package arrived at the FFL's store, I examined it. Fit and finish was perfect. I love a deep blue in any gun as much as anyone, but I also know from long experience that a Parkerized finish will hold up a very long time, which is why the military used that type of finish. My Springfield is absolutely gorgeous, and all who have seen it are envious. It has all the bells and whistles most people would want in a 1911. The only change I made to mine was to replace the flat mainspring housing with an arched one that includes a beveled magwell as a one-piece unit. People vary, but I like the feel of a arched mainspring housing in my hand. I cannot praise this handgun enough! Thanks Bud's!

Springfield has come a long way since they first introduced their 1911 series and this is by far one of their best models. This gun has all the bells and whistles already included that you would normally pay a customizer to install. Novak style low mount dove tail night sights, ambidextrous safety, beveled mag well, beautiful wood grips, skeletonized commander hammer and aluminum trigger, believe me when I tell you that I bought an original springfield 1911 in stainless and by the time I added the same parts this gun already has, It cost me at least another 600-700 dollars easily. This gun as well as Bud's service, Excellent.

This is an outstanding 1911. I cannot imagine what I would have spent in after market expenses upgrading on a base gun. The Loaded has it all and at not much more than the Mil Spec. This is definitely a five star handgun.

Great shooting 1911...good quality construction as always with Springfield.

An outstanding pistol that is very tight and well built.. I called Springfield customer service with a few questions and they were excellent to deal with. I've put a few hundred rounds through it without a single hiccup. Accuracy is what you would expect which is to say that the gun is better than most people who will shoot it. For everything you're getting, this pistol is a great value.

This transaction went very smooth from Bud's, my only problem was a "delayed" from the NICS check the day after the Orlando incident. The gun was perfect in everyway - thanks Bud's will do business again with you.

The Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded is excellent or should I say outstanding. The fit and finish is excellent, the features for the price are beyond expectations. Sights were spot on, and I love the tritium sights, grips, and ambi safety. It is easy to shoot, excellent weight and balance. My wife shot her first 45 and it handled beautifully. She noted it was not much more recoil than our Sig P320 9mm. The Springfield 1911 is a fine pistol and has become a favorite in my family. Bud's pricing and service is 2nd to none along with my FFL did an excellent job getting it to me in 2 days. I highly recommend this 1911 and Bud's Gun Shop. If I could give this 1911 more than 5 stars I would. Thanks Bud's!

Springfield Armory has exceeded my expectations with their version of the 1911. Not only does it look good but it is a great shooter. As I disassembled it for cleaning and inspection before firing for the first time, one can tell the level of quality and precision that went into manufacturing this pistol. All the internals are in pristine condition and of matched grade quality, which can really be seen as you hold it and off course fire it. It is such a well-balanced pistol that one can easily forget that you are shooting a 45 caliber. I fired three hundred rounds to break it in and it performed flawlessly and is very accurate. Simply put, the POA (Point of Aim) is spot on with the POI (point of Impact). I even fired three clips of cheap steel case ammo (as I was cleaning out my old ammo) and it still performed as you would expect. I am glad I spent the time and did a lot of research prior to taking the leap as I always wanted a 1911 for my collection but wanted to be sure I received the most value for the money. Of course, Buds (as always) was great to deal with and thanks for the 90 day and 180 day layaways as it makes it easier to purchase those high end quality firearms while still staying within budget of my firearm collection fund. Please keep the good deals on your Website coming!

I couldn't be more happy with this pistol! The slide to receiver fit is nice and tight and the trigger is crisp, this gun has all the features you could ask for in a 1911 with a price that can't be beat! Thank you Buds for another great purchase and smooth transaction!

Gang, I couldn't be happier with this piece. Nice, tight fit across the board. None of that old-school 1911 wiggle-and-clack. These Trijicon sights are great regardless of light conditions. Very positive mag seating, the trigger is light and clean (I have felt no need to adjust mine one bit), and the grip safety does not require much pressure to disengage (a good thing). The backstrap has a nice, aggressive pattern. I swapped an S&A well/housing in and the pattern is about the same, so it looks like Springfield is including the kind of features people change to from factory specs on other guns. Incidentally, I did not know that these things are now made with the little hole so you can lock the mainspring in place. This is one of the best ideas anybody has ever had, period, and I would like to buy a beer for the inventor. Made the magwell addition unbelievably easy. The Loaded is accurate, intuitive, reliable, and comfortable. Also, it's black. This is the correct color. The cocobolo scales are pretty, although I did replace them with some VZs. The gun is very inexpensive for the quality so, obviously, I had to blow my cash on other stuff. Bud's got this thing to me right on time and in great shape. I used North American Firearms in Lombard, IL because it's is a preferred FFL for Bud's. Sure enough, it's a great little shop with friendly staff and they did not gouge me on the fee. I am incapable of finding anything to complain about. If this had cost a grand, I do not think I would be able to find anything to complain about.
