Maybe this is a dumb question but why is the FLGR such a negative for you?
Also I didn't know about the relief cut -- that rocks! Nice stock feature. |

Swipes the black steel 1911 has the 5" barrel. I also carry the champion with the 4" barrel when I wear shorts during the summer.

Springfield uses a two piece guide rod. That means the two pieces are screwed together. Threads and recoil have a way of disjoining if you know what I mean. When that happens, because you forgot to check the guide rod during the middle of a shooting session, you will have fun getting the gun apart to fix the issue. John Browning designed the guide rod the way he did, for a reason, and I have no desire to attempt to improve upon that feature of his fine design. |
