I bought a Lipsey's exclusive " PE9209LP COMBAT OPERATOR® 9MM " , I don't know much about it except what was on , http://www.springfield-armory.com/products/1911-loaded-9mm/ I have other 1911's but I just felt like I needed a Springfield , if it shoots as well as my others I will be happy. I have been cruising the board trying to find information on them but I haven't found much info so far , some nice pictures of one but it was stainless , I didn't even see a stainless one offered. I guess I will try you tube next.
Gratz on your new 1911 Congratulations! I am sure you will love it! As far as I know Springfield does not make junk! I've only owned two 1911s--a Remington Rand (made for WWII when non-gunmakers were making guns; this was not a great shooting gun) and a Charles Daily (manufactured by Rock Island Armory). If I ever get another 1911, it will probably be a Springfield, but I'm loving my XD Mod2 .45 so much that I don't feel an urgent need for a 1911. I might feel differently on Nov. 9. After you've shot it a few times, I'd love to hear how your new Springfield compares with you other 1911s. Please post your evaluation of the new one.
