If you didn’t like it, I’m sure someone here would make you an offer! I assume it is in 45acp?

 

No sir I liked it plenty. Im asking for opinion from people familiar with the particular model before I myself buy it. It's not mine yet and yes it's.45ACP.

 

I would call Springfield Monday and ask when it was made. The early ones were without beaver tail and I think the front strap did not have checkering. If mods are done nicely it should be worth it but the feed ramp modification could be problematic. You could always go with a ramped barrel or an insert.

 

I’d buy it if I were you. 👌🏻
And welcome aboard! 👍🏻

 

Im thinking so. Is there any risk with that chamber being too polished that I should be aware of?

 

Edit- I went back a read the original post for more clarity.

 

I would doubt it.
Pics would help greatly though.

 

Need pics.

 

You can ask your LGS to hand cycle some JHP rounds through it and see if it has any issues. I have a Trophy Match in stainless, and it is very nice. I would say that the simplest way to think about it is that it's a TRP with adjustable sights. Mine has 20 LPI front strap checkering and some serrations on the top of the slide. If it feels tight and cycles without incident, then it's a question if it feels good in the hand. For $900, I think it's a solid deal. I paid $1250 for mine used several years ago.

 

I have an stainless Trophy Match, I've had it probably 12 or 13 years. I agree with above, to me its a TRP but with target style sights. For $900 I'd say go for it.

 

It's a crap shoot given unknown work has been done it. As noted pictures help

But barrel and bushing replacement is not horribly expensive.

 

Have you bought it yet? 😎
This is THE best enabling site on the intrawebs 😜

 

I did, its on layaway!
You don't see them around much. I called SA with the SER# and they said it left the factory in Aug of 1995. I will post pics, but right off the bat it's getting proper fitting magwell grips, a different mag release button and a GI guide rod and plug.

 

They are wonderful guns. This belonged to my late wife and I still own it. Purchased new in 2016, sent to NHC for a trigger job in 2017, otherwise bone stock. Good luck with your new gun. Let us know how it performs!

 

Thats a beaut, thanks for posting it Mike. I will definitely get some pics posted in here as soon as I pick it up.
My local gun store has a bullet trap in the the back and they let me strip it down and test fire a magazine. It functioned 100% with 7 of mixed steel case/aluminum and bass rounds out of a coffee can lol and I didn't see anything funky going on with the brass afterwards. I was afraid the chamber might have been wallered out too hard because of the extreme polish job...

 

I got it picked up finally. Here she is after a good cleaning and oiling and replaced the grip screws. I am going to post another thread with a photos of the internals and some questions but all I need for it is a decent 8 or 10round magazine, and GI guide rod/plug setup and some properly fitting magwell cut grips. I'm really happy about it and its a great 1911 to get me back into the scene.

 

They say that if you see something you know you should buy, you shouldn't walk away from it thinking that you'll find something like it later... buy it now or regret it later!
