Thank you as I didn’t realize until your review that Springfield Armory made use of a Titanium firing pin along with a heavier spring to mitigate if it is dropped accidentally on its muzzle. In essence it makes it drop safe as opposed to being Series 80. As well that I appreciated watching your KZbin video on desires features of a 1911 that you did like a year ago in which I totally concur with. Like you I purchased a Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded .45ACP Model px9151LIGU stainless steel which was with their “Gear Up” promotional package of including 5 magazines, a hard case, a soft range bag, a OWB paddle holster and a dual magazine holster all for $768 in December 2019. Despite it coming with the Novak 3 dot Combat sights and not the Trijicon Tritium night sight it is nonetheless perhaps the best firearm purchase I’ve ever done as I was initially going to go with a basic Springfield Armory G.I. 1911 for like $499 with only one magazine. I totally agree that the Loaded as a mid-tier 1911 is just truly outstanding!!!… I’ve run over a thousand flawless rounds with mine and other than my Sig Sauer MK25 it is one of my pride & joys as a firearm… 👍🏼😎

Thank you! I'm glad you checked out the features video. I'm getting to the point where I have enough videos that videos make sense to watch together haha. When I was choosing which one to buy, that stainless one was the other one I was looking at. I probably would go with the stainless if I had to do it over again. The finish on my SA is not amazing--I think I'd prefer stainless steel.

My 3 1911s have run wonderfully.

The front strap checkering is one feature that I really miss. Coming from H&K USPs and Sig 1911s, I miss the checkering. It is a fighting gun. It should be checkered.

My father was sent to Okinawa during WW II. He was involved in some of the heaviest fighting using a government issue Garand and 1911. No checkering yet he came back alive. Checkering isn't needed for a " fighting" handgun.🙂

I checker mine 25 LPI, easy enough, or skateboard tape if you like. Problem solved

If you " LIKE " the checkering, I will never get in anyone's way to checker their gun to their heart's content. Checker away. Your money, your gun. But is it " necessary " for the serious stuff of fighting a war or defending one's home?? An empathetic NO is the legitimate answer. I've read a lot of news of guns being used in a life and death situation, NO ONE has ever mentioned, " I won the gunfight with the cretin because my gun has 25 lpi checkering. Thank GOD for those checkering".

@@EndOfThings77, checkering is still a good idea. Those pistols were made to government specifications. They're awesome but still less than they can be.

I had a loaded I had to send it back so many times for maintenance I gave up on it after 2500- 3k rounds. 95% of what I shot was 230grain ball. I considered it hot garbage

I used to own a stainless Loaded model. That gun couldn't go through one magazine full of ammo without choking. The serrations are so damn sharp as well as the front and edges of the slide and MSH edges of the frame. The 2 pc. full length guide rod keeps loosening every few rounds. I bought the gun based on the many vlogs praising it. I was disappointed and sold off the piece at a loss.

It's a hit or miss. Some will eat any ammo with no issues for years. Get a short guide rod or put blue loctite on the FLGR threads.
