Hey all,

 

UPDATE: I successfully won an auction for a brand new SA 1911 Loaded (PI9132LP). Can't wait for it to get here!

 

 

 

 

I'm just getting into shooting (yes noob). I already have a Springfield XDm 9mm (bitone), and love it.

 

With my 2 new permits I wanted to add some diversity and am thinking about grabbing a .45 and .22!

 

I really want a 1911, and have become partial to the Springfield 1911 "loaded" .45 stainless. I'm having a somewhat difficult time locating one in stock (any help/ sites appreciated).

 

Any suggestions (.22, 9mm, .45) to fill my second permit are also appreciated.

what length slide are you looking at for springfield?

I have a Ruger 22/45 (.22lr) and an STI Spartan V (.45acp) that are both very accurate.

5" preferably

 

I like the brushed silver/chrome finish (or whatever it is, Not black) with the dark wood grip

I have a Ruger Mk II, a Buckmark Contour and a Bersa Thunder. All are fun to shoot but the Buckmark shoots all ammo with very few problems. The only downside is it is harder to take apart than the other two. Don't listen to anyone that says the Ruger is hard to put back together. It is hard if you do no have and follow the proper instructions. Good instructions and videos are all over the web.

Awesome replies guys. Any input on where I can grab the Springfield loaded 1911?

so so so many 1911s to choose from. choose wisely. there are many 5" than the other shorter barrels.

Springfield gives a lot for your $$$. Nice sights, bull barrels on some...

Definitely looking to stay at or around $1000. I really like the Kimber Custom II, but from what research I've done, I feel like the SA is the better choice.

Also do any reputable sites have the SA 1911 loaded in stock? Other than a bidding site?

 

PSA had the exact one I wanted but since my permits took 3 months, they sold out

Try the price request on the forum. I m sure that the vendors on here will find one for you.

What s your approximate location by the way.

 

Lou s gun shop in Raritan usually has the loaded Springf..........call them.....

check out gunbroker and gunsamerica

you don't really have to bid. if there's no offers, just call the phone number up & offer them their minimal bid stated.

try not to nickel and dime them on a few bucks, then they'll get mad or something.

usually there's no return

use your credit card to protect yourself.

credit card orders ship fast...usually

give them your FFL to receive delivery.

ask for a tracking delivery number.

buy from a FFL. you can also confirm they are a FFL on gunbroker.

good luck

Thanks for the tips

just my two cents-I was in my not so local gunshop the other day and spotted a nicely used but not abused colt frontier scout,.22lr,SA revolver in the showcase. It has the 4.75(?) inch barrel. My point is that there are a lot of nice used guns out there waiting to be found. It was only $275-for a Colt ! It will shoot any .22 you care to put in it.

Picking up my permits tomorrow.

 

Still can't find a Springfield 1911 Loaded .45 in silver/chrome

 

I'm looking for model #'s: px9151lp or pi9132lp

 

I posted for the vendors on here already. But I've been scouring the web to no avail. If anyone sees anything let me know

keep the faith brother.. it will turn up somewhere.. had the same problem with the CZ i eventually got from Gunbroker (nowhere to be found initially).. paid a bit more than i wanted, but finally got it (waiting for Nics now)..

Nice, ya I keep checking the web every few hours. I was hoping to get it soon so that I could begin planning my purchase for my second permit.

northern firearms on gunbroker is nice.

I think they ship free and there's no credit charge additional charges.....(you need to confirm yourself)
