Article: Springfield Armory® has just introduced a new 1911

Looks like a decent gun. Let's hope it truly has a match grade barrel, as opposed to the crappy two-piece barrel they have installed on some of their cheaper guns.

maybe that will be a Ma. compliant model! I see a LCI (ma**h***) in the top of the barrel!
I've got their mil-spec manufactured in 2010 and it has a one piece barrel.
didn't Springfield armory say some to the effect of "f*ck Massachusetts" in the past?
Yep. Don't expect to see it in MA.
I think you both (andypieces being the other) might be right. I think I read on Four Seasons website that they were getting the feeling SA might make a few models MA compliant. My fingers are crossed because I want to get a nice 1911 and they're at the top of my list.

We got three in last week and they are mass compliant. The Government model sold out as soon as we put them out!
Excellent news! Some years back I got a Springfield that had a two-piece barrel, and it was very inaccurate until I had the barrel replaced with an aftermarket barrel.

Pretty much and I've always found that ironic given their name.
I was cleaning the Mil-Spec a couple days ago and found the "seam". I looked closely when I first got it and didn't see one but it is in fact 2 piece. I apologize for the disinformation.
Ah, OK, thanks for the info. The seam on the barrel hood is the telltale.

I actually bought the one flotter had up for sale. Nice gun. Fit and finish are very nice, haven't yet brought it out to the range but am really looking forward to it. So far it seems to be worth the money!_

Incredible pistols! I am very impressed with Springfield Armory's attention to detail and the fit and finish of these bad boys. The slide is amazingly tight, nothing rattles and it shoots like it's on rails.
Expected some FTF, but has run without incident so far. Absolutely no rattles, nothing loose. Winchester white box. Beautifully simple. No crazy front serrations either!
A lot of bang for the buck! Highly recommended.

Why do you say that? Can we not buy this gun?
Not easily. It is not on the Approved Firearms Roster: http://www.mass.gov/Eeops/docs/chsb/firearms/approved_firearms_roster_03-2011.pdf
And before you start asking questions about MA firearms laws, read the stickies in the MA firearms law section, and post your questions there, not in this thread: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/forums/81-Massachusetts-Laws

latest update that I am aware, but still no SA 1911

Thanks, that is the most recent roster. Yes, the SA 1911 is not on there. In fact, no Springfield handgun is on it and that is very unlikely to change.
