I had my local small gunshop order a Springfield 2001 model 1911A1 loaded with parkerized finish and nitesights.
The gun is good Except I can not believe how loose the slide to frame fit is. I have a 70 series and a 80 series Colt, a Kimber classic, and a Les Baer custom carry that are ALL way tighter.
I mean its bad fellas. You can move the slide sideays and up and down with your hand and see gaps!! If you shake it it rattles like a Maraka!
I will be very suprised if this thing groups well with the slide chattering and hopping down those loose rails.
Do you think Springfield will do anything for me? I am so bummed out. I heard so many good things about current production Springfields.
