So I've decided that I want a .45ACP handgun - last March I'd decided that I wanted a standard full size Ruger SR1911, and found one at Point Blank one day at lunch while I was there to pop off a few rounds. Told myself I'd come back next day to purchase and it was gone. I've been looking for one now for a year. Guess ya gotta be decisive these days.
Anyway, a local shop has the Ruger in the smaller commander model, and I been thinking about it. But they also have a used Springfield Armory .45 that has some cosmetic wear. No function problem, gun is tight, comes with holster and extra mags, feels good. It's just not what I'd set my heart to. But it's pretty damned nice.
So I'm a Ruger fan, a Ruger believer, confident in the company and the product.
I've never had any experience with Springfield - anyone wanna vouch for them and put my mind at ease?
