Nice gun and a great price. I bought a new Springfiled Armory in ss and with fancy grips this spring. When I got it home I noticed idiot marks from the guy in the gun shop after his inisiting that he take it apart. I took the gun back and traded it for a used Colt mark IV and a couple of hundred dollars. The fit of the Springfield is very precise, like the Kimbers. In contrast the Colts seem loose and sloppy. In field use, I will take my chances with the looser fit of the Colt. It is a philosphical decision.
