RE: 1911 .45
The prices on Springfield's website are suggested retail price. Not what dealers sell them for. If you can find one, it should be cheaper. I was going to order one, but my wife told me they are all allocated. They don't have many to meet the demand. She works for SA. So she knows whats going on. You might want to try the mil-spec. It's like $80 more, but a lot more gun for the money.
