As sexy as a series 70 can be.....im a modernist when it comes to 1911s, i like a lowered ejection port with the stainless barrel showing, and a 3 hole trigger and commander hammer . It has some old school charm to it though.

I prefer the old-school plain look. But I did buy this one a few days ago. Around $570 with the shipping and FFL fees.

It's an early Loaded model, I don't think they were available with the checkering and mag-well, Springfield could have done it though. It also came with 3 Wilson combat mags.

I need front strap chackering, old guns have some style but i want to feed hollowpoints and have a short light trigger pull. Older and especilly military issue 1911 were loose fitted and not well tuned.

Keep in mind this is the main sidearm of a gunsmith. It is very well tuned and has an excellent trigger pull. Plus the pachmyrs make gripping the gun very nice.
