I wanted to wait until I had a chance to shoot the gun before posting a review. The gun is a beautiful piece of metal, you can tell the workmanship that went into it. The parts fit very tight, I never had a gun that was so tight. I took it apart oiled and greased the rails and noticed how really tight it is. When I began firing the gun using 230 gr 45 ACP Winchester white box, it took about 75 rounds for the gun to begin shooting really tight groups, I adjusted the rear sight and put another 200 rounds through it. Because the gun is really tight it is really accurate. I wish Springfield would have done a couple things different. The gun has a two piece full length guide rod, you need to use an allen wrench to get it apart. I don't like guns that you need tools to take apart. Some you can't avoid, but the fix for this will be a full length guide rod from Wilson Combat unless somebody can tell me the advantage of the two piece guide rod. The other thing that I wish Springfield would have done was add dots to the sights. I like some contrast in my sights so I will add some white nail polish to the front sight and then use a tooth pick and make a red line. I'm just overly picky this is an excellent weapon.
