Beautiful gun. As I get older, I find myself really loving 1911s with the traditional GI lines and none of the fancy stuff, especially those with the spur hammer and arched main spring housing.
Very good Sir! Thank-you much. :)
🤠👍🇺🇸⭐️. B9USA Sr.
I just sold a S&W Equalizer with a red dot and flashlight for one of these for the same reasons
Last year I bought a pair of consecutive S/N Springfield Mil Spec 1911s at the local farm and ranch store for $499 each. Incredible buy, couldn't pass it up.
🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Fantastic Buy!
B9USA Sr.
Just for comparison, they were selling basic Springfield Inc 1911s at the Army / Navy store in Easton, PA for $475.....in 1993. I still have mine, must have 25,000 rounds on it.
A littermate to a Colt Series 70 Stainless. The long trigger was intended to mate to a flat mainspring housing and the short trigger to the arched housing. Of course we now also have medium length triggers and mix and match to desired combinations of mainspring housings. For purposes of interchangeability I have an old blued original Series 70 Governemnt that was so worn when acquired that it had to be sent out for professional refinishing and replacement of fitted safety components. The master gunsmith installed an original Springfield spur hammer, sear, and manual side safety left over from another build and these are working fine in the Colt for the last 16 years.
I prefer the backward " Push" of the .45 round , Over the lil " Flip" of the 9mm.
I just got the the Parkerized S/A
Mil Spec. (Waited 6 months)
Worth the wait. Love it!
I picked mine up for $599 and it's the parkerized/blued version. It shoots flawless as well just runs and runs with no malfunctions love it to death. It fits well with my collection of Springfield 1911s.
These Mil-Specs 1911’s are amazing. I bought two Parkerized ones a few months back after we made this video. I’m not sure when the “traditional” two-tone one or standard one will make an appearance, but I’m sure it’ll happen in the next couple of months.

@@BERETTA9mmUSA I am very pleased with all my Springfield Armory 1911's they all deliver in quality and reliability. I enjoy your videos and think you and Beretta Sr do a great job. So from a fellow LEO thank you.
@@jonschafrath104 Stay Safe Brother!
Beretta Sr.
Yes that's my EDC Mil-spc in parkerized
Excellent 1911 milspec. I’m in the market for a stainless 1911, I think I found it! 🤠
You will Like it a whole bunch. :)
B9USA Sr.
Nice 1911 as always but you guys feed my 1911 addiction too much and I had bought another last week lol.
Supernatural was a good show but got a little goofy at the end. Dean Winchester is definitely one of my favorite tv characters. He toted that GI 1911 religiously, drove a 67 impala, was tough as nails,and literally went to hell and back. Glad I’m not the only one who wanted a 1911 similar to Dean’s lol. 1911’s will always hold a place in my heart no matter if they are modern or GI configuration.
Yes Sir! We both loved the Show. One of the few we could agree on. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.
I have a Springfield Amory 1911 Mil Spec I love it. Some guy in Texas made a custom Springfield Amory Median on the grip it looks nice.
Dude I came here looking for a final reason to pull the trigger on this particular gun and you convinced me with the Dean Winchester reference. Thats exactly why I want this pistol. Thanks
I cannot afford a Colt like Dean but this one will do
I recognized that song at the end. Thief is a great 1911 lover’s film!
What you forgot to mention is the gun has a great trigger and it's super accurate ; ) At least my 10 mm ronin does !!! I paid $800 for it. it shots just as good as my $1,600 Kimber
Man that one looks real nice. I am not usually a fan of pistols that shine, but those white handles set it off.
Thanks for watching Devil dog! You stay safe out there. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beretta Sr.
It looks good with the white grips.
Springfield Armory 1911 with LOK Grips on it.... what's not to love!!
I see you there, using the "Thief" soundtrack near the end of your video. Congratulations, you've got good taste in film.
The basic 1911-a1 in stainless is a nice looking affair. The trouble is your a lefty like me.
Wow, thanks for featuring another great looking piece! I like that you got inspiration from Dean Winchester, as my mom loves Supernatural so I’ve seen a few episodes. Dean is quite the bad mamma jamma, and uses a gun befitting to such. I’ve now started to desire a nice silver 1911 for my first, as they look so brilliant in the sunlight. This may be a contender.
It’s a nice piece of art. I wanna get one. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻🇺🇸
I have one as well. It is both accurate and reliable, and it competes well with my more expensive 1911 collection.
That’s a great deal. It’s definitely a very good firearm in a more classic style and finish.
I bought the milspec in the parkerized finish 2 years ago for $549. Great gun for the $
The thing that I love about this review, is that this seems to be a great 1911 at any price point. Especially this one. The truly great thing about this 1911… A guy can transform this into what he wants and dreams about without breaking the bank.
I just purchased a Mil-Spec over the weekend in 45 cal. I feel like I got it for a Great price , $557. It's not stainless. I thinking about buying another one in a 9mm. I have only heard good things about it. That's a GREAT looking one you have in stainless, I really like it. Thanks for making this Video!!!...
Nicely done gentleman! Good focus on the basic intrinsic 1911 with good engineering and build and looks great too! Appreciate the nice words YB about the SA Stainless video I did. As you know this was not just my first 1911, but my first semi-auto. As I may have mentioned and as you are both into all things 1911, check out the Topper Toys Johnny Eagle Lieutenant life size 1911 complete with case, magazine, spring loaded bullets, and casings which it shoots. I had one as a kid in the 60s along with watching Combat, 12 O'clock High, and Rat Patrol. Makes an interesting addition to a collection LOL. Someday I might even find and buy one as we have collector toy stores here in Las Vegas. Love those grips. This SA Mil-Spec is one of my best shooters for distance i.e. 20-25 yards or more. Stable and accurate. Have a great week!
Man, that trigger looks great for a right out of the box 1911 in its price point. No wonder there are two in your stable now. I say go for it on the engraving, too!
For sure. btw the two ended up being 6 in the household LOL…. I have 4 now, I ended up making this gun look like Vincent’s from Pulp Fiction. 2 of my Mil-Specs are two-tones now, reverse and standard… I’ll probably end up making a video on those ones. I will probably buy another Mil Spec Stainless and have it sent off for engraving a year or two from now.

@@BERETTA9mmUSA Outstanding! They do tend to multiply. I am looking forward to seeing the other ones, too.
@@TheGunfighter45acplAzım
Have the range officer target in 45 acp, no issues and a great feeling 1911. Trigger measures 5.5# but feels lighter. Replaced the front black sight with a red fiber optic to help my old eyes .
Just picked one up on Gunbroker for $670. That’s not including shipping and tax but still less than $750.
You should love it Kyle! Congratulations! 🎊🎉🍾. Beretta Sr.
Wow, the grips make it look really nice. I do enjoy the wood grips that it comes with too though.
$650 for a quality service 1911 isn't bad at all.
Where I'm from those go for $799.99!
Got mine a few months ago $800.00 (California)
@@OsamaBenFartin they are $1,000 in CA.
@@Ac22768
Maybe for stainless. I got the Parkerized version.
Interesting timing of your video. A couple weeks ago I bought a milspec like yours but all black, brand new out the door for $580. I haven’t shot it yet but I’m getting the itch to do so after watching your video. I’ve just been playing with different LOK Grips on it. Thank you for another well done and informative review!
Thanks Max! I got this Stainless Mil-Spec back in January, we filmed this video in March. I decided to now publish the vid as I felt it was time. You really should shoot your Mil Spec, it’s a blast. FYI, I did sand the sides (external edges) of the beavertails on like 3 of our Mil Spec 1911’s. You may also want to do that so the grip safety is smooth feeling (when handling or shooting the pistol) with no irritation at all in the web of your hand.
- YB
@@BERETTA9mmUSA Thank you very much for the tip! Can I do the sanding even though it’s a black model?
@@MDpolo I sanded on my black model, its going to look "distressed" on the edges of the beavertail... If the looks of that will bother you, id leave it be... Personally, I'd rather have the 1911 feel great in hand than have it look perfect... But, you could always cold blue it after working on it. - YB
I've owned a Springfield armory 1911milspec gi model for about 11 years now stainless steel love it polished the feed ramp keep her clean and lubricated have had very few malfunction very dependable and nice factory trigger thought about trading on a more expensive model 1911 but can't bring my self to part with a dependable pistol if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Yes Sir, Keep it forever. :)
B9USA Sr.
Springfield makes a good 1911. I have an MC Operator and haven't had a single issue. It shoots well, too. My rule of thumb is always using a Wilson mag though. Nice gun!
Well made affordable durable great review show all great thing about this handgun. Now gone have go get my own.
Hey guys, colt has the classic (reproduction of 50s/60s commercial in 45 or 38 super) using 70 series system.
Great pistol at a great price. Awesome.
That Pistol is Amazing for the price, and all 3 or 4 that we own have all been very Reliable. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beretta Sr.
I heard they dont make many of these anymore. Im glad i got one before. I love the finish on the springfield. Prolly the nicest looking pistol.
Dan they make this model still, 4 different versions of the pistol. Two of which can be seen in this video.

@@BERETTA9mmUSA oh really? i didnt know that. I called a few places looking for one and they said theyre suppliers cant get any of the stainless steel milspec ones and i found one on gunbroker it said discontinued model. The owner of the one gunstore said they dont make them or they at least dont make many of them anymore.
@@danm7298 they still make 2 versions of the stainless Mil Spec as of today. A California complaint version and the Stainless defend your legacy model
Great old school classic look at an amazing price point....love your vids boys...👍💥🇺🇸 💥👮♂️
Luv the sound of those 230 grains hitting the steel!
That's a hell of a gun for the price plus being a Springfield they make pretty good guns anyways so now I got to go shopping thanks Beretta lol thanks for sharing guys keep up the great work
That's my EDC just in parkerized don't want the attention in case I have to draw it of stainless steel
@@TheRealZJE313 u like how it shots well u must if it's your EDC. Mines is the xds mod.2
@@hawkeye7834 ok nice. I have a XDM 5.25 In 45 but it's my night stand GUN.
@@TheRealZJE313 dang that's really nice for a night stand gun I just got the Taurus judge for that alone with my rem 870
I am a 1911 fanboy, da rest we just use them cause we probably have too😁!
Niiiiiiiiice 45 y'all!!! 😍🇺🇸
Thanks CT Smith! B9USA.
@@BERETTA9mmUSA no problem!! You guys got a pretty good collection!!
I paid little over $800 2 years ago! Exactly the same one ! Love it !
now i have to watch that show thanks Jr lol :) and what a sweet gun for the price.
Thanks for watching, and enjoy the Show! 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beretta Sr.
Nice job and video. That's my EDC Mil-spc in parkerized.don't want the attention of stainless steel in case I have to draw it
I cannot Waite for the episode where you have that 1911 heavily engraved
Only a bit more than a RIA or some other budget 1911 and it looks to worth the investment.
Hi Scott, yes we agree. 🤠👍🇺🇸⭐️
B9USA Sr.
Good for Dean....good for me...that means I also have to get a 92 x too
I’m a fan of that specific model
Love the gun
Greetings from Egypt
Greetings my friend! Take care.
Beretta Sr.
@@BERETTA9mmUSA Beretta PX4 my fav
@@BERETTA9mmUSA Beretta APX compact FDe too
I've decided. This is gonna be my 1911 after looking at my options for a while. Nothing like a stainless A1 pattern 1911. Might go crazy and put some "great wave" grips on it
We have a couple of them….. we think they are Great!
70 series is better than the 80 series.
say the line bart
I agree.had colt 80 series got them appraised by a 1911 guy and he said they where al JUNK cause of two things 80s series and that colt started using plastic parts on their 1911
Great Video
How I got interested in 1911s was because of the glory years of Steven Seagal
That ping on the trigger pull is asmr
nice shooting
$600 15 yrs ago in CA.
Not a single jam, even when i tested out some hollow points (apparently you arent supposed to with the stainless springfield gi).
Love it💚
Nice handgun I just bought one. Special after watch great review.
You will love it. Beretta Sr.
That's an awesome deal! Even with high end 1911's I would still pick one up to carry instead of my Nighthawk so I don't scratch it up. By the way what's your favorite 45 ACP round? Great video, thank you!
Any Top Quality Hollow-point. 🥳🤠🐉👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beretta Sr.
Wow what a beauty
Thanks very much for checking out the channel. 600 videos to pick from, and a New Video every week. :)
Beretta Sr.
Got one of these not to long ago, the firing pin retainer was badly…. Badly cracked/chipped from factory, never fired it, quick swap to Wilson combat forged part and it good to go, couple spots of corrosion on the grip but it’s all good! Stainless not stainproof, also threw a tlr6 on it and great home gun or carry gun now
Very nice firearm. I don't own a Mil-Spec yet.
They are calling your name my friend.
🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Beretta Sr.
:28….he said beaver….ha ha. Nice video.
That's a damn bargain.
This is a Fantastic Classic 1911!
Beretta Sr. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn that is a good price
nice video, well done 😎
U guys, sure did. I'm on the phone with Springfield Armory ✔
Cool,cool45
they lower and flair the ejection port as well. ive got a 1942 colt 1911a1 army and you can see a big difference.
And beautiful 2😍
Nice to hear a bit of the Beverly Hills Cop 2 OST. Maybe you can do an overall entry level 1911 compilation video just to have some more decent entry level options to choose from. A table video showing play and adding links to range footage would be fine.
Currently the only entry 1911’s we have are the Ronin’s and the Mil-Specs. We have not been happy with other pistols in this price range we’ve looked at thus far. (Ruger, Auto Ordnance, SDS/Tisas, RIA etc.)
I am considering reviewing a Remington, but their 1911’s have cast frames…. Not sure how I feel about that to be completely honest.
When your factory only makes one model of handgun for over 40yrs you have time to work out any bugs
Nice & Thanks :)
Amazingly, I too really enjoy that look of the show's handgun. I'd love to know where, if you obtain the accurate engraving for the slide. Also, the ivory grips with the colt logo would complete the look.
I ponied up for my first 1911 but this could be my second 1911 that I could shoot the hell out of it and not care to much about damage and wear.
These guys are sharpe shooters
Is there a difference between the mil spec 1911 that says “mil-spec” on the slide versus the ones that say “model 1911-a1 cal 45” ???
Same handgun, the newer pistols just say Mil-Spec
Thank you for the info
Winchester carries a Colt. Gotcha 😉
By the way those coin grips are cool!
Springfield small parts are MIM not cast just a heads up.
@DV8 *** your point is what exactly? LOL I'm going to assume you didn't get to the part of the video where he misspoke and said that Springfield small parts are castings. All I did was correct that small bit of misinformation.
All good guys, and your right we missed that one. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beretta Sr.
Nice
I love Colt 1911 but I like this pistol sound and it's amazing 😯
Name of the movie?
Its a TV show called Supernatural, its available on Netflix.
@@BERETTA9mmUSA Thanks sir..
Nice review
How many rounds were put through the gun during and before this video?
Sr are you going to change to a beaver tail. Also should have mine in two weeks and yes I'm going to copy and get those same grips. Lol.
My Wilson combat mags fail to eject the second to the last round almost every time. The stock mags work just fine. Any suggestions?
Send them back to Wilson for replacements. :). B9USA Sr.
Are you guys going to consider the new Springfield Emissary 1911? It looks interesting
It cost me almost 950 out the door with 2 wc mags
I love mine. Hate the way the powder will come back and hit you in the face.
$1k in CA
Sweet gun. I got myself a Dan Wesson as my first 1911 a few months ago and I already want another one. Can you really have enough 1911s?
I think I am at 14, and I plan to stop at 20. Or when I retire in 13 or 14 months whatever happens first. I still own 3 Dan Wesson’s….. as I sold 5 Dan Wesson’s to help pay for 5 Les Baer 1911’s that I wanted. We have Videos up on lots of 1911’s from several manufacturers if you are interested. 🥳🤠👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beretta Sr.
Springfield Armory stainless milspec looks better than mine. I like the smaller roll mark on the slide. When did they change it?
Simply cosmetics would be my guess.
B9USA Sr.
The most important thing, does it rattle when you shake it? A true military 1911 rattles when you shake it. I read some of the documentation for the mil-spec, I think the rattle was in the specs, I'm pretty sure that was in there. I think that was a war thing, when challenged: 'Who goes there?' All you had to do was shake your 1911 and the sentry would know you're an American with a 1911. It is April fools day isn't it? 😁
I just order one from Bass Pro for $650 + tax for my first 1911
Has anyone put an ambi safety on this 1911?
Brasil
What a great pistol you have there and fantastic looking grips. The grips are from altamont?
LOK Grips. :) B9USA Sr.
May I ask where did you purchase your grips for your 1911 ?
