I got a new Springfield Champion today. It came with 2 7 rd mags and I picked up 4 Wilson mags. I took it to the range, fired 100 rds thru it with no issues. Very accurate and am totally happy with it so far. The mark near the safety is lint on the slide. I'm liking it.
very nice! i bought the exact same one earlier this year. I am very happy with my purchase and even had some work done on it. It runs very good. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51440
The Springfield Champion is a danm nice 1911. I had a LW Champion and really liked to shoot it and carry it. It is hard to beat the lifetime warranty either. You made a good choice. How are you going to carry it? If you don't already have a holster for it, you should consider a Milt Sparks SS II. You can get one here without having to wait 6-8 months: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=2582 ... Commander#
i got a champion loaded 1911 on order with my gun club but the damn distributor is out of stock on it so i dont know the wait time on it
