Question for anyone that owns a relatively new Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded: is the barrel constructed of two pieces welded together at the juncture of the chamber and barrel? I bought a new stainless SA 1911 about 18 years ago and that is the way the barrel was constructed. I eventually replaced the barrel with a new colt barrel and a new bushing. I was wondering if that is the way their barrels are still constructed?
