Springfield V-12

[The Cleaner]

Why can I not find any info on the net about the Springfield V-12 with the ported barrel and slide? I know that Sprinfield no longer makes this gut but thats about all I know. If anyone can help me out with some info on these guns like value, quality how they shoot and such I'll post up some pics. Thanks

Do you mean V-16? That's what I have in .45 Super. There was one for sale on Gun Broker awhile back.

I had an XD9 V10 and didn't care for it. It was also my first compensated pistol though. The XD doesn't come in any caliber that has such an unmanagable muzzle flip that porting is required.

Pros:
Looks cool
limited number
looks cool

Cons:
front sight dissapears in carbon soot after 1 mag
shooting indoors feels like a bonk in the nose
perceptibly louder

Hmm, I thought you mis-typed. Apparently there actually is a V12.

I know nothing about this pistol and will be shutting my mouth now.

Thanks for the input guys, so at the very least we no there is not to many of them. I actually got to put close to 100 reload wad cutters through it the other day and it shot great although the front sight does fade away with the carbon build up. I bet it shoots even better with a good factory load.
