A few days ago I bid on a Springfield Armory Model 1911 EMP4 on gun broker, then sobered up and allowed myself to be outbid. The Springfield is scaled to the smaller cartridge and Springfield is selling all they can make. What put me off was: based upon the reviews, the slide on this gun was the same thickness as those chambered in .45 ACP.

Personal preference aside, it's hard to fault the Springfield. The used gun broker Springfield sold for $755.00.
