Have this gun on the radar but haven’t seen anything posted on it yet. I plan on using it for a upcoming boar hunt. Feedback is welcome .

I had the same issue with mine. Staying 1/8” out of battery. The chamber was too tight. Springfield fixed it. Now the only issues were with the underpowered ammo. Ie magtec.I have one, I have put 250 rounds +/- through it and have been getting a number of failure to return to battery (round does not fully chamber). I have tried 2 different types or ammo, Magtech and PPU, and Springfield factory and Wilson combat mags. I just picked up some Sig and Bear Load ammo. Planning on putting another 150 – 200 rounds through it to see if problems resolve them self and if not back to Springfield.
I have the Sig TacOps and like it. It had all the features I wanted and came with 4 magazines. If it came in 6" I would have bought that. I think you'll find that the 10mm doesn't kick any harder than a +P .45ACP. My only complaint is that it throws empties about 30 feet. I tried a very heavy spring and it didn't help. Hopefully the Springfield won't do that.
Meh, buy a Glock 40 MOS, throw a decent optic on it, and still have $300 left over for ammo for the price of the Springfield.
Glock is a glock. Nothing special.
As much as i like the gun. I’m not in love with it for the price. I got the RMR one. This one may get sold. But I’m in a thin the herd mode anyway.
If you people are having difficulty w takedown then you’re doing it wrong. There should be a tiny hole for a paperclip, remove tension on recoil spring, slide stop pops right out. The bushinglwss 1911 is a great design but one needs to follow instructions for field strip.
If want to slow down rearward slide velocity (and thus ejection) install a flat firing pin stop. EGW makes a nice one. It removes the leverage of slide pushing on hammer. Will dampen recoil and tame ejection. The recoil spring on 1911 won’t do much except shorten cycling time and beat up the frame when the slide closes.
I run full steam 10mm loads through my 1911 and have spent a fair amount of time getting it correctly sprung. From factory most of the 10mm 1911’s do not seem adequately setup for 10mm.
