Doesn't get better than this.
My Brother passed away two years ago. He left me his 1994 Springfield Armory Inc. 1911-A1 . He had made changes to it form the factory model. I was in the 82nd Airborne Div. as a armor in the mid 70's and early 80's before the M1911's were replaced by the M9's. To make a long story short, the Springfield Armory 1911-A1, is back to factory spec. I replaced the flat mainspring housing, with the EGW GI Arched mainspring housing with the lanyard loop. The assembly of all the parts are the same as the army's 1911's. This is a perfect replacement for my 1994 Springfield Armory 1911-A1.
