Springfield 1911 vs remington 1911 thoughts?

[wtburnette]

Oh, I have my fingers crossed hoping that you are right. I shelled out for a Springfield Loaded today.

Y'all wouldn't steer me wrong, now would you?

The Loaded is a very nice 1911, congrats

I just got an R1... but i have a kid named Remington, so that kinda swayed it for me, plus it's not staying stock, so i didn't mind. got a killer deal on an Enhanced.

Absolutely nothing in the short or long gun safe's are stock.

Are the Colts for sale over at CDNN comparable to the RO's?

Wow, just looked, there are a lot fewer of them than there used to be, but I really dig the Competition Government in 9mm!

I would stay away from the new Colts. That is just a personal opinion and I am sure many will disagree.
No knock on the true fans of the marque.

Santa brought me a new Colt 1911 for Christmas. It is beautifully finished. The bluing is deep and rich. The grips are rosewood. The three dot sights perfect. Fit and finish inside and out is perfect. Did I mention how it shoots? At 25 feet with these old eyes cover a magazine full with a silver dollar. Have shot a few hundred rounds of factory and reloads and no malfunctions. Thank you JMB for creating this pistol!

Good for you. Hopefully they are getting back on track.

i've got it now, but DAMN that pin/catch can be a pain! i'm so use to CZs and just clumsily tossing the stuff together, i dont like this whole "pay attention to what you're doing" thing on 1911s! (you should've seen what i edited out, it was even better)

I love the Springfield & gotta say I've never shot Remington. I'd like to buy the TRP.

It does take a minute. Once you get it no biggie but a tight bushing can be a drag if you do not have a barrel wrench.
