I remember back in the late 80s/early 90s when all Springfield Armory 1911s were a POS.
I have a Springfield Armory full sized RO I got a few years ago and it's a fantastic firearm. Head and shoulders above the Colt Gold Cup I bought in the early 90s, which is a rattletrap when you shake it.
Congrats on your purchase!

Bought a used Kestrel, finally. Yay

Found this at a bargain price at an antique store in Clarkston, WA. Hand hammered, 14 quart, made in Italy. In the process of cleaning/polishing...more difficult than I thought it would be. The part I've cleaned looks really good.
