For over 20 years the American firearms juggernaut, Springfield Armory, has produced some of the best 1911s available for the money. In between the straight mass-produced guns with no hand finishing and the full fledged custom 1911s costing three times as much, Springfield’s mid-priced 1911s are more than just work horses, but accurate and stylish machines that shooters can count on for drilling 10 rings or carry–if you are the bold type that carries a two-pound gun on your hip.
