    Speaking of Bird, he's been awol awhile. Must be letting the hide grow back on his fingers from polishing.

    See how the grips look on that. I always assumed that the Springfield offerings were different. But they claim the distance from front to back is the same. Just always bothered me. I once owned a Springfield Commander sized 1911, traded it of a 10-7 Nickle Plated 2" Model 10, S&W Revolver. Still happy with the swap.

    I once owned a Springfield Compact. Didn't like the trigger and the edges were just too sharp for me. Operated fine. Seems like people get a 1911 and change everything anyway......................

    Magnum Research is the same way, I didn't know that about Springfield. Just slightly longer front to back on the grip. A grip that is full coverage on most 1911's will have a little metal showing on the MRI. Doesn't bother me, doesn't really effect the grip feel but grips just fit differently.
    For some reason I was sort of turned off when I heard Springfield won't sell any parts. Probably not a big deal as most other 1911 parts will fit the Springfield, just kind a bugged me.
