\"The<\/a>

The matte stainless helps hold back some of the glare.<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking for a classic 1911 design that evokes the nostalgia of the old Mil-Spec single action? You’ve got a few options. Want one that is also stainless–a gun that can be upgraded the way 1911s have been for generations? You have fewer choices. The best, in my opinion, is the Springfield Armory Mil-Spec. And Springfield is giving one away on Monday, September 14. Want the details? Click here: https:\/\/duel.springfield-armory.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The appeal of the Mil-Spec 1911 is easy to see. Fans of the retro blasters break into two distinct camps. The first are those who want a kick-ass pistol that evokes history. The old 1911A1 still inspires passionate feelings in many. And some of us don’t mind the old-school hammer and lack of a beaver tail. The Mil-Spec evokes the way it was. If that’s what you’re into, this is a great choice.<\/p>\n

But this specific gun is stainless, which might make it a harder sell for some obsessive history buffs. Still, I mentioned two distinct camps. The second camp won’t care that the gun is stainless–in fact, it would be a strong selling point. These are the shooters who want an entry level gun that they can then come back to over a number of years, making slow modifications, until they build it into whatever they want. And the Mil-Spec is ideal for that. This gun is solid, out of the box. As each small piece is upgraded, the pistol will become even more functional for competition, or daily carry.<\/p>\n

Springfield knows their 1911s, and the Mil-Spec has been their entry level gun for a couple of years–ever since the last of the old G.I. models. And they’ve got a reputation for quality. When you begin digging into the 1911s available, you’ll see some pretty broad diversity. Features may not be the first thing you notice, either. Typically it is the price-tag. But there isn’t likely to be any sticker shock associated with the Mil Spec.<\/p>\n

After 2011, when everyone released their own single-actions, there were suddenly many more options for American made pistols. Springfield’s Mil-Spec continues to be the best match of American made quality and affordability.<\/p>\n

Shooting the Mil Spec<\/h2>\n

This is a no-frills 1911, so it won’t perform as well in your hands as some of the more expensive pistols that have been tricked out with extra checkering and serrations. That said, the stainless does have a\u00a0 frosted, bead-blasted texture that provides a totally functional grip. And the gun shoots like a well made 1911. Ejection is clean. Feeding is reliable. Recoil is easy enough to manage.<\/p>\n

And there are some upgrades. One feature that is atypical for a mil-spec is the 3-dot sight pairing. No hump and bump here. For me, this makes the argument that the Mil-Spec isn’t just mil-spec, but a solid choice for daily carry.<\/p>\n

[\/one_half_last] And this is the ideal platform for those who want to learn how to run, maintain, and modify a single-action. An example: the Mil-Spec’s trigger could be smoothed out slightly. That’s a great DIY project, if you have a reasonable aptitude with tools. Even as it comes, though, it isn’t a problem. I’d just keep it on the short list of upgrades that I’d make eventually.<\/p>\n

With a Springfield 1911, you can guarantee adherence to specs. When you take the gun apart, it will go back together as it should. Aftermarket parts will fit with minimal modification needed. And the materials used in the construction of these pistols will stand up to hard use, regular maintenance, cleaning, and even some of the learning curve that comes from trail and error.<\/p>\n
