Well, I cant track down the Colt I have been looking for and really want to add to my stable, so Im goin' clonin'

Im thinking Springfield Champion Operator.

Can anyone who has one and experience with them, give me their opinions and if its worth it please. Yea, Nay, a Wash?

My opinion, off the bat, is for what they are going for, for a few bucks more, I could get A Colt, just not THE Colt Ive been after cause I cant find it.

.So tell me about the Champion. (Beyond just hold out for the Colt)

Thanks in advance.

What exactly is it you're looking for? Have you placed an ad in the want ads? I'm just asking. Nick

I was looking at topgunsupply.com last week. They had some Colt 1911's in stock, maybe not what you want.

I had a springfield operator. Good gun,shoots well,and well made. I traded it for a colt i did not have. Enough said.

don't have a springfield op but I do have an RO. I like the springfield they are making good guns. and they come with extra's.

I've never seen a problem with one of the 1911's finished in their custom shop, but those straight from Imbel can have mixed results, some seriously bad.

Reading alittle online, it does seem like a crapshoot.But ive heard good things about their customer service.
