Springfield Armory Customer Service
Yea they definitely take care of their customers. Im excited to get it back especially since I left a slightly noticeable idiot scratch on the frame. Still cant believe they took the extra step to refinish the frame for me. It'll be brand new again. STI customer service is very good from what ive heard too. Im sure they'll do everything they can to make it right.

Springfield Armory Customer Service
I sent in my range officer 2 weeks ago with some fitment issues and they've gone above and beyond anything I couldve expected. The slide to frame fit was a little loose and some tiny spots were scratched from the factory machining work (not a big deal at all, I just wanted it a little tighter and didn't expect much). The rep immediately sent me a return label on the spot free of charge. Instead of just tightening the rails and sending it back, they rebuilt a brand new top end for me (fit a new slide, fit a new barrel, and a new rear sight) and even refinished the frame. All of this work was done within 2 weeks. All I can say is wow. Im not sure how other manufacturers handle warranty work, but SA just gained a lifelong customer. I highly recommend Springfield Armory.

RTSP - Customer Service Concerns
Wow must've changed a lot there. I had a great time there when it opened up and the service was fantastic. Cant picture dealing with someone behind the counter spitting out chewing tobacco gunk while answering questions... thats pretty disgusting... Casos is good but their pricing is high on a lot of handguns. I almost regret spending an extra $150 there just to support a semi local shop.

Ruger SR1911 vs. Springfield 1911 range officer "which is better"
Hope you enjoy it! I love mine

What gun lube/cleaner are you guys using?
ballistol, tw25b, and eezox

Ruger SR1911 vs. Springfield 1911 range officer "which is better"
Of the two choices I say the RO. Not because I own one but because the build quality is much better IMO. Im not saying the Sr1911 is bad, but for around $100 more id prefer having a forged steel frame and slide. The barrel bushing on my RO is also VERY tight. The 1911forum has tons of info on both of those models if you havent already looked.

Do you gravitate towards a certain brand?
Partial to springfields
-
Handguns on layaway?
I would save it up. I overpaid for no reason because I jumped the gun before getting my permits and wanted a dozen other guns in the meantime.

If you were at bullethole this AM
I'd much rather hear your 12ga than the mosin M44 blasting off next to me earlier today. I thought indoor ranges didn't allow surplus steel core ammo??? or do they not care anymore?
-
So, I was at the range last week...
It scares the crap out of me when I see a new shooter close their eyes right before squeezing the trigger. Or when you see the nervous shaky hand of a first time shooter...

who has the most affordable car insurance?
It has a lot to do with where you live too. With allstate I pay $3k per year for an acura and lexus. Rates went up like crazy once I moved to where I am now. My wife and I have perfect driving records too.

Congrats! Beautiful pistol you have there.

NJ NICS
I don't really mind waiting a few days or up to a week or so to support a shop thats relatively close by. What I don't see myself doing is driving over 1 hour each way to a shop and having to make multiple trips just for paperwork. I'll wait a week for nics to support bullethole or caso's no problem. Tomorrow marks day 7... the final stretch...
