    Nice... Like the railed 1911s. I've got a custom one in the process of being built and can't wait til it's done. Let us know how it shoots.

    Thanks everybody. Despite what I had read on the interwebz, I had no problem breaking it down without any tools. It feels perfect in the hand. I normally get pretty bored with my EDC after a year or so but this one's gonna stay with me forever.

    Congrats on the Springer.
    I've got the LW Champion and love the gun. It's my favorite carry for fun gun. Love the weight and balance on my hip.
    Keep a watch on the guide rod. They have a tendency on backing out and loosening up.
    Springfield sent me my last one the day after I called them. First rate company.

    Not really sure! It was a smell that I could not get past. If I had to describe it, I would say like a plastic type smell. who knows!!
