GooseBuster,
You've piqued my interest- Is this Springfield a stock build? Tell me about the trigger- how sensitive? How is it set up? Remember I'm a lefty, so I'd also be concerned with how/what directionthe spent casings eject. If they come out perpendicular to the pistol, I don't mind them ejecting on the right side (shooter side). However, if they come out at any type of an angle back towards the shooter AND on the right side (Shooter side), then it may squash my interest.

It's a classic big bore pistol- no doubt. It would just have to be in very good (read: darn close to NIB) condition for me to even consider. I usually only maintain weapons that I stand to use in my accumulation (notice how I didn't use the term "collection"? I don't collect- rather I accumulate), so I would be interested in this Springfiled 1911 .45 cal pistol as aback upweapon when bowhunting in Bear/Mountain Lioncountry.

Can you post some pics of your specific pistol? If you could break it down and lay it out & take some pics, that would be great. I'm very interested in the trigger assembly.
