I'm thinking of making the jump to a CF pistol. I've shot some 1911s and I like the platform. What do you guys think of this new Springfield pistol? It goes for around $750 and has Made in USA markings (though the frame is Brazilian).
It would be for the range and something to carry camping.
I like the Adjustable Sights, the Beavertail, and the Match Barrel.
What do you think?

Many of the good 9mm's will sell for $200 less and 9mm is less expensive to shoot than .45, however, if I had my druthers, I druther have a 1911 before I had a 9mm.
I like the adjustable sights and my eyes are way past being able to use the GI sights.
You might want to look at the Taurus and the RIA/Armscorps 1911's as well as the Springfield Mil Spec. However, the Range Officer looks pretty good.
