Just bought a Mil-Spec yesterday. Probably the only M1911 I’ll ever get. The guy behind the counter was trying to sell me $1,200 Kimbers but I was like, if I have to pay that much, might as well get a second FN FNX-45 Tac cause that gun beats the PANTS off of the 1911! The guy smiled and pulled out the Mil-Spec and two weeks later, I bit. Not only was it much cheaper, I paid only $620 total with tax for mine, but it just scream the history and the legacy the 1911 left behind and is still writing! Can’t wait to shoot it.
I just had the exact same kind as the one on this video given to me because of a death. It was never fired until the 4th of July this year. I loved it more than the 1200$ kimber I own. I like the sights better on the a1 mil spec. To me this 1911 dont shoot like a entry level 1911
Got a "Mil-Spec" a month ago after using a Gen 1 Glock since I bought it in 1992 and 38,000 rounds in training and competitions. The inherent accuracy of the SA 1911 is far better, quite simply is the better weapon for almost any application. I've wanted a SA 1911 for many years and now have the firearm I've always wanted, it's everything I've thought it would be...and that is quite simply the best handgun ever built by the company I consider the best in the business. I also have my M1A I bought in 1992 as well, no finer rifle anywhere in the world...the only addition I've added to my M1A is a "trigger shoe" which makes the trigger wider and more comfortable and makes those trigger pulls far better making me even more accurate with better trigger procedures...
I would agree. A stock 1911 is usually inherently more shootable than a stock Glock. I have a Glock 17 I have shot for years and I do ok with it. But then I rent a Springfield Range Officer one day and first mag is much smaller groups and much more centered on target.
@@LarryRickenbacker I know this is 3 years old, but mil specs have no hammer bite. They are really 1911-A1 which addressed the that issue on original 1911 design
