Springfield Vickers Master Class 1911

[wcd]

Have to admit this one looks nice. Any idea where they may fall on the Build Quality spectrum? Wondering if they a Range Officer with happy trim or if they might be somewhere in the middle. Looks like MSRP is around $1500.00

Looks tasty enough.

Looks good, not a lot of useless features to drive up the cost. Very tempting, depends on actual street price.

Nice new offering from Springfield.

That's a nice looking gun, it does have a Black-T finish and some custom parts and night sights that will drive the price up along with some nice machining. I like the ball cuts and the checkering and slide serration pattern. They don't mention anything about a trigger job or a fitted barrel so I wouldn't look to it to really shoot any better than their other guns. SPFD 1911's usually have a nice slide to frame and barrel fit and shoot fine anyway. The only downside to me is usually the beavertail fit, the ones in media usually look pretty good but the ones that hit the street can be so so but since I do my own that's just my own pickiness. If these hit somewhere in the $1300's i'd say it's a nice buy.

I agree. It's looks almost perfect.

If I had to pick a nit, it'd be the lack of a beveled magwell. I don't personally consider that useless, though I imagine some do.

Looks like street price is about $1500 including background check and taxes we are at 10% so this might be doable. Wondering how it would compare to a TRP?

I like this gun quite a bit at first glance. I'l wait for the market to settle and see what this is really selling for.

No front slide serrations? Is that a 1911 thing or what?

Absence of front cocking serrations? I really do not want them on a 1911.

Even the most basic Springfields have a beveled magwell I’m sure this one does too.

1500 is MSRP if that’s what they’re selling for I’d wait.

The $1500 includes sales tax and $35.00 for background fee. I have just found out they are limiting production to 500 so chances of me seeing one are slim.

May I ask why?

May I ask why?

Some of us don't like the looks of them and we aren't kewl enough to need to press check our pistols over and over to see if they are loaded.

Correct they are loaded why do I need to check it is the first thing I do after inserting the magazine.

I'm going to vote with Expat, I don't like the front serrations look either.

 

[wcd]

May I ask why?

Ok my personal thoughts others mileage may be different. I am kind of utilitarian, I do not see the need for them, I do not do Tacticool checks to see if it’s loaded, I really prefer no FCS on appearance as well.

Okay, a limited run makes a difference I guess lol.
