I have one. Only problem I ever had was during break-in I got some light primer strikes with cheap ammo. The gun shop also stopped selling that brand so I think it was just the ammo.

Ive heard of poor quality on the auto ordinance one. Specifically Slides that are cross threaded on the tap so the sights just barely stay on in the box and fly off after you shoot the first shot. If you want full GI spec then a RIA is the way to go. Don't even think about getting an ATI as those are known to have incorrectly heat treated extractors that will blow out the side of the gun during the first mag. If you want something that is a little bit more, but the best gun for your money with non-milspec features, I would highly suggest a para or a Taurus

Any thoughts on the Springfield 1911A1 Mil Spec commemorative "Battlefield Cross" limited edition (only 500)?

I just avoid Springfield out of principle. They make a good 1911, so I hear.
Sebastian Cooper
Can you elaborate on why you avoid springfield? I'm curious as to why the avoidance.
Tyler Torres
has he tried different magazines with it? 1911s are really picky about what magazines they'll take.
anyway, if it were me looking for a 1911, i still think you get the most bang for your buck with RIA. maybe just get a slightly higher end model if your dad's has issues?

Anti gun cucking in Illinois some kind of limit on total guns you can buy per year and ass rape gun shops and other manufacturers other than SF and rock river arma. I don't live there but fuck giving them more money after that shit.
If you want just buy used at a pawnshop or similar no more money to them amd you get an affordable and good 1911.
Owen Price
so it's because the company is based in Illinois?
Bentley Powell
Springfield and Rock River Arms were caught lobbying for anti-gun laws in Illinois with the caveat that they would get an exemption and their competition wouldn't.
So fuck 'em.
Camden Ramirez
