[QUOTE="Dwmckie, post: 2059329, member: 24492"] I got a Springfield 1911 A1 Mil-Spec. I had also looked at a 1911 double stack, can't recall the maker, but the Springfield looked to be exactly what I wanted. Good thing I got it, because a couple of other folks were also looking for a basic 1911. Can't wait to get it out to the range. If there is one thing I could change, it would be to get some kind of rubberized grip panels. Other than that, I'd like to get a few hundred rounds through it before I consider any other adjustments. Something kinda weird, though. It came with two 7-shot mags, and a simple OWB holster and mag holder. The holster is small, but it does have a adjustable tension bolt. The holster also has, strangely enough, what appears to be a Piccatinny rail. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Why a rail on a holster? The belt loops are solid and the trigger is covered, so it can't be to add an optic in case you need to fire with the gun in the holster. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, and maybe you guys can figure out what the rail is for. [/QUOTE]
