Old 454 · May 18, 2013, 03:54 PM

Have a chance to Pick up new Springfield .45 acp Range officer new for 750 with the shooters pack.

What do you all think? Deal or no Deal

Don't have one but I def want one and that's a decent deal

That's a pretty good deal IMO. But then again, I overpaid out the butt for mine. Oh well, it's a great gun.

I have been grounded from Cabelas for a while.

I think $750 is a little high. There are a lot of 1911 pattern guns on the market in that price range.

It's a great gun and $750 is a good deal. I've never seen one that cheap.

I picked it up and gave it a good cleaning and took it to the range. Tack driver is all I can say. Love the feel and balance, all though I will replace the frt sight with a white dot or some thing or maybe a fiber optic.

Thank you all for the opinions.

Wow... Only two days elapsed from OP to initial range report. That may be a new record around here. Glad you're pleased with your purchase.

They are tack drivers. I bought mine when they first hit the market. Never looked back. It's one of my favorites.

IMHO 750 is a fair price...thats exactly what i paid for mine...they are great shooters! had mine for a while now with around 2k rounds fired,i did have a trigger job done but thats it... zero problems. I will never part with mine

Everything you need and nothing you don't need. I enjoy shooting mine. The price seems to be fair. I've only had mine since New Year's eve. I have put plenty of rounds down range. I would consider getting another one for that price.

Saw one locally tagged $843, and that's about $50 less than I would have expected.

By all accounts great guns. I have found the fit and finish of the Springfield 1911s I've handled to be excellent.

Solid price in today market. I used to see them for around $800 everywhere these days not so much.
