BrianZ06 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Springfield Armory 1911 Champion,its an older model that had a wilson hammer and a extended thumb safety,factory beavertail grip safety. This one has the bushing barrel unlike the new ones with the bull barrel. Its tight and has a great fit and finish. Not many rounds thru this one.I never really liked two tone guns but this one really cought my eye and had some of the upgrades I would want to do to a 1911. I might change the sights to some novaks and replace the grips but for now it will do. Cant wait to shoot it. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_1385.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_1384.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_1382.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_1418-2.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/000_1417-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I bet it should be a tack driver! Is it Officer model length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 No its a 4 inch. This is springfields equivalent to the cold commander that is a 4 1/4 barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I like the grip. What don't you like about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't dislike them, Im just more use to seeing wood checkered grip on 1911's. They actually fit and feel good and that is what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
