This little guy came in via FFL transfer the other day. It's a Springfield Lightweight Champion Operator (4" 1911; steel upper and forged and hard anodized aluminum lower with rail). I took it to the range and put a couple hundred rounds through it consisting of 230 grain FMJ's, Hornday Critical Defense, Federal Hydrashocks, and Golden Sabres. It swallowed them all and spit them out accurately and without a hickup. This is a fun pistol to shoot!
Anyhow, here is how it came to me:
Here it is with some new shoes:
And here it is with some new eyes:
The grips are VZ elite tactical carry in slimline black G10 and the weapon light is a Streamlight TLR-3 which puts out around 90 lumens. Perfect for me for a bedside home defense gun.
I love me some 1911's!!
