Springfield Armory 911 .380 ACP Black 2.7 Green LASER - 2.7" Barrel, 6+1 Rounds, Polymer Grips, Night Sights

Great gun not so good laser. Ended up having to remove it because the sight adjustment Screws got stuck inside sight and would not come out. Otherwise the best .380 I have shot

This Springfield 911 380acp is a near masterpiece of engineering and design - so why did I only give it 4 stars? One reason is the shape of the hammer. It's bad. The thumb cannot easily engage and cock the hammer - it takes an unnecessarily concentrated effort to prevent the hammer from slipping away from the thumb and snapping back into the firing position. A more ergonomic shape (like the Sig 380's) would easily correct this problem. So (Springfield) - FIX IT! Also, this stealth black color really doesn't work for me on this little 380 gem. I'm liking black on my many of my full sized guns, but I made a mistake getting this gun in black. It's like painting a jeweled Faberge' Egg some boring monotone color. Almost all the other Springfield 911 color combos are so much more awesome than this flat black. Also, love the grip's green laser - but - it's a little difficult sometimes to keep your trigger finger out of the beam. Add to all of this that I've come to the conclusion that a mini 1911 style single-action pistol is really a bad/unsafe idea for an EDC for 95% of the population and my suggestion is look elsewhere if you are seeking the simplest and most efficient protection. (It's great, however, for a mini 380 collection that stays at home or on the range. Just don't get this all-black model.)
