i have a parked nm four ditgit 41xx springfield model of 1911-A1 that was given to me by a good friend many years ago and it has kept up against quite a few other makers,including colt. the sights are as the original and suck for older eyes, i did put packmyer signature grips on it. it eats every thing, but 180gr semiwadcutter cast bullets and has fired many hundreds of rounds with only a few hicups.
