As much as I love my S&W round guns the 1911 has been my main pistol for 5 decades. I recently picked up the new Springfield Armory Garrison 4.25" in stainless. What a pistol. I did swap the thin grips for some standard width from Wood Caliber, had Novak's install a Megadot front night sight and I added a 10-8 rear.

It's a nice compliment to my Baers and a custom build I have.

Just over 300 rounds and it's flawless, though I did have an issue with one older SA magazine that has also given me issues in my other 1911s.




Today I ran 200 rounds through it with all the mags as I figured out which one was the problem child. It works perfectly with my preferred Wilson 8 round mags.

Target shows the shots at 8 and 10 yards. I recently had cataract surgery in my right, dominant, eye and it'll be the end of March before my Rx is set for my glasses. I've never been a bullseye shooter and look forward to having my vision dialed in then.
