skdmrklcy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Which model? I could be wrong but pretty much all the Springfield's are marked 1911 - A1 from the GI to the Custom Shop Stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeMartens Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 whatever SA it is (or 1911) for SS comp most things you see magwell beavertail ambi's extended mag release sometype of front strap texture (grip tape to checkering) good sights (adjustable are what you see mostly) good trigger job usually a Koenig hammer with EGW sear on SA most people dump the titanium firing pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skdmrklcy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I will say I am not sure if this is correct or not, but some have led me to believe a Springfield may not be the best choice due to the ILS Mainspring Housing which it seems it is not legal to switch out in IDPA. I just picked up a TRP before finding this out so it is kinda annoying but I forgot all about the ILS on the Springfields. I am still going to keep the TRP as I love the gun, I just wanted to switch to a different mag well which requires changing the mainspring housing. I will still use it in USPSA, and have a Glock 34 I am going to focus on first anyway, but still it is a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can replace the MSH easy enough, or you can remove the ILS components from the existing MHS. It takes all of 5min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please forgive the newb quetion but I am looking to change out my MSH to a S&A with magwell and was informed that I need to change out the internals due to the ILS. I will be shooting SS at my local club ( currently shooting production )and want to make sure I set this up correctly. I was told a 19lbs competition mainspring. Any advice or links that would help me better understand this would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
