There's a thread a while back where someone bought it and sent it off to a Smith for an overhaul. They're borderline pushing into Stacatto pricing aren't they?

Yes isn't part of it saving 1500-2k ? I had a Timex and took it to a jeweler to have a Rolex movement put into it and it was the ultimate flex !

I have the 5in and have not had any issues mine was first run production as well. I heard people were sending them back and Springfield fixed all the issues. i know the next batch runs are all fixed the main fix was mags and recoil springs. i bought mine used from a guy here and he had over 500rds through it and i have over 500 rds through it myself.

Yea like all the usual reviews someone comes out with something that is a threat to the other boutique brand and the haters just bash them .

People are also more likely to complain about something then take the time to praise it.

Rock Island makes one and I would not have a problem taking it for a spin

I've actually read good things about RIA, much better than I would expect for a budget 1911. If I were to buy anything cheaper than a Ruger, it would definitely be an RIA.

I just don't know about buying into the 22 TCM tho don't need to search for more ammo ! I am still stewing about the man duping me with a pistol chambered in 41AE lol

Yep it was the first production run on a new platform with covid material and employee shortages. Everything produced right not is crap, look at all the vehicle recalls lol. If the gun didnt work i was ready to buy aftermarket parts but no issues even with 115g cheap ammo. it is super accurate and runs like butter and leaves room to customize it.
