Deb from SACS said their only recommendation is to re-Black T the whole pistol, but I personally love the look.

I've carried these two for the last fifteen of so years and they are relatively trouble free. Between the two pistols the Loaded and Pro has around 30000 rounds through them for training, IDPA, and casual plinking. I've changed the recoil springs on my Loaded, but the Pro still has the original springs. I had to restake the slide stop / safety plunger tube on my Loaded and sent my Pro back to Springfield to refit the safety because it was rather loose. (on SACS's dime) I recently sent my Pro back to have a complete check up and new nightsights put on and Deb said it's in tip top shape other than the finish wear. (on my dime) I trust either with my life That's because I have thorough understanding of the platform and know its strength and weaknesses.



My recommendation is to get a 70 series pistol. There are less moving parts, so there is less things to break. Stick with the Government model as they tend to be the most reliable. I highly recommend Springfield Armory's TRP line as they have a certain amount of hand fitting with features you would want.
