Tough looking pistol.

How ironic. I was just looking at them online.

I bought the .45 APC last year.

Go fire one. I think you might like it.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

so how much does it cost?

[Gondring]

Is the grip angle similar to a Glock? How thick is the grip?

[Hammerhead]

Doug, sorry pards, I’ve tried all of them and nothing beats the good’ol (simple) Colt Series 70 1911 .45 ACP

Is the grip angle similar to a Glock? How thick is the grip?

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Does it have a 21st century price?

[Sudetenland]

Sorry Doug, make mine a Glock-21SF-that is. Still the Springfield is a nice weapon and it has a sterling rep. Also like the H&K Tacticals, but found the grip on the .45 a little large.

May your Christmas be a Springfield Christmas:)

I got a XD40. Looking at a SOCOM II currently.

Springfield makes some awesome firearms.

On that note, a dealer told me that Springfield rifles will be the first to go under the AWB because they are made with military grade parts.

[Sybeck1]

I’m sorry I can’t compare. It’s my first semi auto.

[doug from upland]

No need to be sorry. There are many fine pistols that will last a lifetime. This one felt pretty good to me.

[A2J]

Good weapon.

But Glock is much better.

I’ve owned the 4” XD-9 Bi-tone for a few years. It’s my favorite cold-weather CCW. If I could conceal it better in warm weather it would be my all-year CCW.

[Redleg Duke]

When will it come out in a real cartridge, like a 40 S&W?

I agree on the 1911. I have Taurus PT92 and 911 Millennium Pro for various uses and reasons.

[doug from upland]

I’ve seen them for $400 to $500.
