Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

Or maybe an Operator is more your style.

That is very nice.
All of a sudden, I'm thinking, "Ooohh... I don't have a black one. I should have a black one."

For some reason, at least in me, and I suspect one or two others of us, there is a continues appeal/resonating siren song for a basic 1911A1 which this Springfield offering nicely taps into. It has the right historical touches, as well as nice subtle improvements to the sights, barrels, and ejection port profile.
For those wanting a retro-appearing, but eminently usable 1911A1, this could be your huckleberry. While my personal preference in this niche would still be towards a Colt Series 70 Repro or Classic, or the Dan Wesson A2 (or their earlier limited production 1911A1 a few years back), assuming decent-quality components and manufacturing, these Springfield offerings are both tasteful and very well priced.
