Went to T-REX in Belleville today to check out my new Springfield Armory Range Officer in 9mm. What a pleasure this gun is to shoot. Shot some Remington UMC FMJ, some reloads from a friend & 5 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense. Had a few fly away's, but for the most part it is a much better shot than I am.
Recoil is very controllable. The front fiber optic sight allows quick acquisition. I've had other 1911's in 9mm. This one is by far the best of the bunch. These guns are not cheap, but well worth it.
Fit & finish is perfect.
Have a total of 8 mags. All ran without issues except for a COLT 8 rounder that will not hold open the slide on the last round. Not sure what's up with that, but I wouldn't use it for SD anyway. The 2 mags that came with the gun are very nicely made. Ordered 3 from CDNN that are Metal Form with the pinky extension. I like them.
Anyone wanting a quality 1911 that won't break the bank or your wrist, this is the gun for you.
