This semi-custom Springfield Mil-Spec model was built with the intention of maintaining the traditional 1911 style, while incorporating several custom upgrades to improve both the performance and handling characteristics along the way. An improved frame-to-slide fit, Wilson Combat match barrel bushing, an upgraded Springfield Armory stainless steel match barrel from a target version pistol, and a Wilson Combat Bullet Proof slide stop, combine to vastly improve lock-up and shot-to-shot consistency. Strategic polishing, a tuned Wilson Combat Bullet proof Extractor, Wilson Combat Bullet Proof extended ejector, lowered ejection port, and a throated and polished chamber all work together ensure reliable performance. The broad Heinie rear sight and bright EGW fiber optic front sight work in combination to ensure quick target acquisition and a clear sight picture. In addition to a fitted EGW flat, checkered mainspring housing, the front strap has been raised for a higher hold and custom checkered at 25 lpi for a vastly improved and secure grip. An extended thumb safety, semi-extended slide stop and a match grade, medium length trigger all serve to promote better control. In addition to the performance upgrades, several aesthetic improvements include a ball-radius cut slide, flush-cut and contoured rear of slide-to-frame, a flush-cut and crowned barrel, a handsome pair of Altamount rosewood grips, and strategic beveling and edge polishing throughout. To finish things off, the entire pistol received a general hand-polishing treatment and a deep-colored hot salt blued finish. This package includes an oem Springfield plastic case and associated documentation, in addition to two Springfield stainless steel 7-round magazines.
