New Springfield Armory Garrison

[Fishinfool]

In the recent past, SA has stated their 1911's are made with 100% American slide, barrel, and frame forgings. I do not re-call them stating what forge was used.

Fact is it is very common for manufacturers to use parts sourced to their needs and specs. Last maker of note that I can remember who strived to make every single part in-house was USFA. Their gone now.

SA's business model has been successfully used in the past by some pretty well regarded firearms brands. Browning comes to mind.

In the end, I look over a gun I am interested in, and I judge whether the quality is there or not, and go from there. Seen some stinkers from both US and foreign makers in the past.

Going to resurrect a month old thread and thank the RP for getting me to start hunting for one of these in 9mm.

Been wanting a 1911 9mm with no frills and this will hopefully be the ticket.

Just closed on an auction for an incredible deal and should be all in for less than $670 when done.

This thread got me off high center and I ordered a blue Garrison in 9mm. It's in transit and I should have it in a day or two. One slight disappointment is that it comes with only 1 magazine. Springfield doesn't have them in stock so I bought a few Mec-Gar mags. I've never owned a 1911 in 9mm. I have a 38 Super 1911, which is almost the same, right? I plan to shoot a few ISSA matches with it. Should be fun.

You will love the 9mm. Soft shooter and fun.

I have a Sig Tac Ops that I got for a steal when they discontinued them in 9mm. Fun to shoot but I don't like the permanent rail. Miss the clean lines of the standard 1911.

Wilson magazines are great and I use them with the Sig and will probably pick up a couple more now.
