Poll: Common Problems - Springfield

[September11]

I would like to take a poll of common issues that arise with specific pistols by manufacturer. This is not intended as a bash session. I only want to know what I might expect from the purchase of one of these guns. I am interested in any issues that might have happened since you purchased this weapon. If you have only put a few rounds in or have only experienced the problem once, I would suggest not listing it as a real problem. I am hoping for feedback from a number of people who have put hundreds/thousands of rounds over a long period of time. Also, if you purchased the gun used and or tampered with, please refrain from submitting a vote.

Please check off the areas you have experienced trouble with your pistol

My Springfield Loaded has a major issue of creating a shortage of .45ACP ammo in my possession! It eats it all and sends it near where I aim it! Perfecto, and except for swapping out the FLGR for a GI plug, box stock.

Accuracy was the only thing I wasn't happy with in my Springfields.

The older models seemed to have some sharp edges. The new ones I've seen this year are nicely finished.

My 2001 1911-A1 Loaded 9mm is a real treat to shoot. My only problem is that the slide serations were great for lettuce shredding. Took a stone to them and it is easier to work with now.
