Give or take.

Not sure about the full size frames but you can get the carry frame NIB for $900-$950. I've seem them used $750-$850.

[NTexas_V-Star]

The Springfield Lightweight Champion Operator, Part# PX9115LP retails (at least when I bought mine) for just a hair under $1100.

They've probably gone down some.

I stake my life and that of my family in the hands of the Austrians and the Germans. I have never had a failure at the range, with all kinds of ammo, even the cheapest re-loaded dirty, filthiest of ammo..

[VaderTT]

I wish I could afford one of these.

[franks]

i would go Ruger, when they release the "lower" models the price will rise and should be a decent investment plus havent heard any bad reviews on the SR1911

i have had 2 springfields one i sold because it was ejecting into my forehead(when i called they said if it functions then its in spec) and the other a EMP is at SA now for warranty work and a stop by the custom shop.


id still buy a Springfield if i found one in 9mm that i liked.

also had a les Baer for 3 weeks and couldnt shoot it for shit. so i traded for a spec ops 9 in which i really enjoy shooting and will keep forever

[War Machine]

Damn I wanted one, just so I could ask chicks to come
"play with my hawg" or "hey baby, wanna see my hawg?".

I'd trust my life with a Hi Point before I would with that thing

Ive been wanting to trade my COLT officers model mark IV series 80 .45 for a 1911... I have too many small pistols and want i nice (reach out ant touch something pistol)..

[loc712]

Para Ord

I have a Pxt 14-45 and have never had a failure of any kind feed or fire or eject with any kind of ammo. Fit was as good as any 1911 i've had (Colt,Springfield,Kimber,Sig).

Just the view from my side.

[fast83]

[Pooter]

I really want a 1911 too, ill probably get a Springfield when I get the skarilla...


No Paras for me either, the 3" model I shot a few years ago literally jammed on every other round. Tried every type of brass we had out there, nothing worked better than the other. Not sure if it was because of the "mods" the guy had done to it, but shot like shit and couldnt go thru one mag without jamming at least 3-4 times, no thanks...

[aggie97]

Thanks for the input...just what I was looking for...

Are the RIA's really ANY good? I saw tons at the gun show in Houston for $399 and figured they were trash....or would need mods to be decent and you end up at $700 anyway.

I have a buddy that has a P14 and hasn't had ANY issues with it for years....might it be a certain year range that was bad.
