Springfield Armory 1911??
First off,, Im not a pistol shooter, and dont know much about handguns,, but have been thinking of getting one, for home protection and just general shooting. Ive pretty much made up my mind to get a .40s/w or a .45 acp. Now I have found a Springfield Armory model 1911 WWII. It is a replica world war 2 1911 .45 with parkerized finish, and walnut grips, with U.S. engraved in the grips. Does anyone know about Springfield Armory guns?? Are they good? And is the 1911 a good model gun?? I love the feel and look of the gun and it is in the caliber I want, but just dont know enough about pistols to make the decision to drop the cash for a brand new gun. Thanks for your advice.
