Springfield V-10 Champion Bi Tone Any Good?

[Master Blaster]

I saw one of these Used in a gun shop with Heinie Slant pro sights hogue grip and a low profile wilsons? safety.

The price was $399 the gun was shot very little. Is this a good gun good deal?

I want a 1911 and it seems that this one is small enough to carry but with a full size champion frame.

yes my friend bought one for the same price. It is a great deel. They go for $750 new and used for $550. The only thing i did not like about the gun waas that you can cut diamonds with its sharp edges so we filled the edges and corners. It is great shooter( very accurate on follow up shoots, but i would not use it for my carry gun, because of the 10 holes, unless you get an extra unported barrel for it. hope this helps.

I really like mine. I don't have the V-10 option, and it's all stainless, but the Champion is a good shooter. I am discovering that I might have accuracy issues, but nothing serious...just not as good as I want. My wife has a V-10 Ultra Compact...that porting really makes it a puss to shoot.
