There is a gunshow in Mountain Home AR this weekend and I went planning to swap the 9mm Series 80 Colt I had listed here for sale. Made pretty much the swap I had planned. While the Colt had been fired very little, it had been stored poorly before I got it and had some pitting on the slide and dust shield. I had installed a 38 Super kit, but lost interest in taking that any farther.

Anyhow, I traded Colt and $50 for a NIB Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Mil. Spec. 45. Bout as plain as you can get, very close to Army specifications in the ,40s. Came with a very pretty set of crossed cannons S. A. grips, but also had the plastic ones that I installed last night.

Nice looking gun. SA is fudging a little (actually a lot) calling that a mil spec 1911 A1. That pistol has quite a few modifications not found on original GI 1911 A1s.

Yes, but nothing I wouldn't prefer the way they produce it,,,other than the hammer lock thingy built into mainspring housing. Gun comes with a key to turn this 90deg, thus locking hammer in un-cocked position. Bet I got a cure laying around somewhere.
