Hey yall. I recently acquired a Springfield Mil-Spec in .45acp. I managed to get it out today and ran approximately 200 rounds of hard ball, both Wolf and Rem UMC 230gr, without a single failure or malfunction. I am extremely pleased with the accuracy of this handgun.
My first twenty rounds were benched from 7/10/15/25 yards with the UMC 230gr, five rounds at each distance (I accidently put 6 rounds on the 15yd target). My only modifcations thus far have been adding cocobolo double diamond grips and a sheet metal Wilson Combat front grip strap as well as painting to front sight dot orange. The trigger is extremely crisp with about a 1/16th of a inch of take up with about a 5-6 pound pull. It was very easy to shoot this gun accurately. As a side note, no hammer bite, although the inside of my thumb where it rides on the thumb safety is quite sore, but to be expected. The handgun is extremely well-fitted, barrel lockup tight as a bank vault. I should also mention my point of aim was dead center.
