Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded .45 ACP Stainless/Silver Pistol

A: This will depend on the ammunition used Jose. If you are a beginner, I would recommend looking into a 9mm Conversion kit to start with for this pistol. Once you become proficient with the controls and recoil levels of the 9mm then you can easily swap back to the 45ACP as well as have a dual caliber pistol.

A: No a beginner would not be able to handle the recoil of the 1911 in 45 ACP. It would be better to get the Springfield 1911 in 9mm to learn on. Cheaper ammo too so you would be able to afford to practice more often. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/24280/Springfield+Armory+PI9122L+1911+Single+9mm+5+9%2B1+Cocobolo+Grip+Stainless+Steel

A: Hi Jose, It depends, If you have a firm grip I think you could handle it. Maybe go to your local range and rent one

A: 1911s do not convert (with a few exceptions) easily from 1 caliber to another because the feed ramp is machined into the frame It would depend on the beginner now you can get 22 lr conversions that will fit a 1911 but for the price of the conversion you can buy a nice 22lr handgun (gsg1911). If you try a .45acp with a beginner I suggest only loading 1 round in the gun until you see how they do Here is a link to a GSG 1911 22lr it is a great training gun and shooting 20 less boxes of .45 will pay for the gun in ammo price savings https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/62297/ATI+2210M1911+M1911+10%2B1+22LR+5

A: Teryl, this pistol has Low-profile fixed 3-Dot combat sights.

A: sorry they are fixed 3 dot combat sights

A: They are drift adjustable (left or right) but not elevation. You can always swap the rear sight for an adjustable Novak style sight, there are several on the market.

A: the springfield is a series 70 firing system

A: Terry, fortunately Springfield followed the original 1911 design of the Series 70 Firing System with a cleaner trigger pull. Most modern Series 70 1911's are configured like the original guns, but they will pass any drop test because of a slightly stronger firing pin spring and a lighter firing pin. It's a matter of balancing inertia.

A: Joshua, no Sir this is an earlier version 1911. Cheers and stay safe!
