So as I wait for my 30 days to pass before getting my new 1911, I decide to take out my other new gun; a Springfield Armory 5.25 in .45 ACP

 

I hit up the heritage guild in Easton and promptly sent 125 rounds of Federal 230 gr FMJ, 50 rounds of 230 gr PMC bronze, 25 rounds of 185 gr Federal hydrashock HP's and 75 rounds SWC reloaded rounds. All in all it was a nice session. I did experience 3 issues; 2 FT feed with the reloads and 1FT fire (dud) with the PMC Bronze. Im not sure if these were isolated items or user error, but aside from those issues the gun shot nicely. The red front fiber optic site was bright and made for easy site acquisition.

 

I also threw 50 rounds of 9mm with browning and I just love that gun. It's shoots so smooth and is more accurate than the shooter.

I have this 5.25 as well in 9 and 45. I have never had an issue at all with the .45, and only issues i had with the 9 were really light loads from when i started making my own loads.. Love these guns. If you ride the slide release as part of your grip your slide may not always lock back. but again that is cause you are riding the release.. happens more so on the smaller framed 9 the 45 grip is rather large so I doubt you will have this problem unless you have large hands.. Love me my xdm's
