    Hello folks,
    I'm new to the forum and I'm from San Diego.
    Just bought a Mil Spec 1911 and I'm loving it. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.

    Welcome! You bought the best deal in a quality 1911 that you can get in CA. The last Mil-Spec I bought was fitted and finished extraordinarily well. A great shooter right out of the box.

    WELCOME!!!

    I'm glad you found your way here. Post pictures of your new pistol and we'd love to see pics of a range report.

    Went to the range last Monday and put a couple hundred rounds through my Mil Spec.
    Feed Remington aluminum and brass rounds with no problems.
    Got great accuracy right out of the box. Here is a picture of the target for the first 100 rounds ImageUploadedBySpringfield Forum1418665484.746478.jpg

    I love this weapon!!!
