That looks like a lot of goodness for about $650 street price. Amen. If they really are priced close to that level I’m buying one. I think Brownells has them priced for sale at $669.00.

My Hi Powers are my favorite range guns but they aren’t in the concealed carry or truck gun rotation. This might solve that problem…..sign me up foe one, just out of curiosity at least.

A Browning HP has been on my radar for a little while now and I’ll probably hold out for that but for an American made shooter these new Springfields for under $700 sounds like a can’t miss good deal.

I could see me owning one of these at some point
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Thanks, g5m. Did not mean by that statement I wouldn't buy one and put an ambi safety on it.

I'll try one. Reckon this will cause other makers to aim lower price points on steel guns?
Bangflop! another skinning job due to .260 and proper shot placement.

Not to put too fine a point on it but I believe the highly sought after "Fabrique National Made in Belgium" originals were not made in USA.  Seems they might be playing fast and loose with the descriptions since the reviewers all make a point of saying "Made in USA" but nowhere on the pistol does it say that, it just says Geneseo, IL. Anyway, that wouldn't stop me. Those Turkish 1911's get universally good reviews as a well made firearm. Hell, if it was actually Made in Belgium these days there's a good chance it would still be made by a Muslim.  In other news, looking at the pictures on the Springfield website it seems their marketing department might be making a big play for the retro crowd... ![[Linked Image from d7g7q7y3.stackpathcdn.com]](https://d7g7q7y3.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/0Q8A0099-Edit-2-1200x1200-1.jpg)

Yep. I love my Tisas USGI 1911 A1. Being made in Turkey won't stop me from getting one. Springfield Armory wouldn't allow their name on it without having control over the quality of manufacture.

I'm guessing it is designed to be carried cocked & locked? Frankly, I sure wish it had DA/SA capability like my Beretta. Cannot have everything. Thank goodness they eliminated the magazine disconnect "safety". An all stainless steel version would be nice. I don't need another pistol, but I just might have to try one of these.

It's caught the interest of many, it seems. Should be a success.

I tend to think the gun industry kicks ass, and as manufacturing of machined parts gets cheaper and cheaper, I think its only going to get better.
