Here you go, variations on a 1911 theme, 6”, 5” and 4.25”. Still need a 3” (maybe a 1911 EMP 9mm?)

If your looking for a really nice holster check out Diamond D custom leather out of Alaska. Not cheap and your probably going to wait a month for them to ship.

Mine hated the magtec. The sig ammo worked better. I ended up selling it at FS.I just ran the gun at TRP at the range. It is a tack driver and really absorbs the recoil.
Used about 150 rounds of Magtec ammo at around 1200 FPS.
It ran great up until the 7-8 rounds. Then repeatedly got Failure to Feed issues. I’ve heard this is a known issue. I plan on contacting Springfield tomorrow.
Anyone else have issues?
The only ammo i had problems with was ppu . Running handloads and Underwood the gun runs fine . The only magtec ammo I've used has been .45acp and none of my guns seem to like it. No feeding or reliability problems but my groups really open up . Sorry your having problems
i doubt you're having feed issues. it's almost certainly extractor tension or premature slide lock. next time it happens look at the slide stop and see if it's engaged to the slide. magazines for 10mm 1911 are critical. not all play nice. 10mm 1911 are problem children. welcome to club.
nobody carries underwood. just buy it from them in IL. get on their email list they do promotions free shipping or 10% off type stuff. please do not ask me if they ship to XYZ. the sig elite 10mm FMJ ammo is also appropriately loaded and decent value. cabelas and others stock it.
I agree.
I think the extractor tension may be the culprit as it feeds fine the first five rounds (when the mag spring is under more pressure). My problem consistently happens in rounds 6-8. At this point the mag spring pressure is less and may have trouble pushing the bullet case past the extractor..
The bullet usually jams about halfway in battery and still under the extractor.
I was going to post something similar. I don't love Glocks but they just work.You didn't want to listen to experience and buy a Glock 20 as I suggested.
The web is loaded with people having similar problems with the Springfield. As squib said, 10mm 1911 platforms can be finicky because the manufacturers don't know what the end user is going to shoot with them, so they make it worse by trying to solve issues with heavy springs. The gun needs to be tuned to the ammo used in it.

Interestingly enough I was at the range with a buddy and I had him bring his Glock 20. At first I was skeptical thinking the recoil would be ridiculous. It was actually pretty manageable despite the difference in mass between the guns. However the Glock trigger was awfully squishy and made me pull with anticipation. He obviously has not done any trigger upgrades. As my 19 & 26 triggers are crisp comparatively. And there is no comparison to a nice 1911 SA trigger and the heft of steel to make you smile.
That said, it's not inconceivable a Colt Delta Elite makes its way into my safe someday.

Okay keep us posted on how you do . I've heard great things about Springfields customer service .
