Best of luck with your new "toy".
You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?
Re: Just bought a Springfield 1911
I have the same weapon, I have put about 2,000 rounds through mine, had a couple of FTE, but no real problem. Enjoy your weapon.

Re: Just bought a Springfield 1911
I ordered one a couple of months ago... still waiting... admittedly getting impatient.
Congrats on yours!

Perty thang!
I'm not a huge fan of mil-spec but that's the nicest looking one I've seen.

Re: Just bought a Springfield 1911
Nice one Marked8. I have the parkerized version and love it. One problem I had was the safety. Tore my thumb all to hell the first day I fired it. 100 rounds from the holster. 3 round volies and holster rinse and repeat till all gone, will wear on the thumb. My ridges were sharp. I was not a happy camper. I think I have callused up now though.
Re: Just bought a Springfield 1911
I shot 200 rounds last week at Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly. I am almost ashamed to say that I shoot better with this 100 year old design than I do with my new polymer pieces. It felt like an extension
