Thread: A new Springfield Armory 1911

1993 Springfield Armory Compact 1911

I ran across this one the other day. They were only made a very few years in the early 90's. It has a Commander slide and an Officers model frame. This setup makes a great carry pistol. Since we have new mags these days it still holds 8 rounds with one up the pipe. With the short frame it really carries well since the grip doesn't stick out as much as a full size frame. I don't understand why they only made them about three years. This is the first one I've seen in many years.
I added some thin McCormick grips and changed the trigger to a longer one. It also came with a set of Trijicon night sights a real plus!
This is a ten yard target. I tossed one but the rest of the mag went into one hole.



Hope you enjoy the pics. I did a full review on my blog at Gunner’s Journal

My favorite weapon and that is a beauty. Check out the M1911 commemorative knife I found. You may want one of these too: http://straightrazorpalace.com/what-...ollection.html
