Re: Any information: Springfield 1911 doublestack .45
According to the Springfield Armory website, the PW9701LP weighs in at 40 oz. empty. I cannot answer your questions about IDPA for sure, but I kind of doubt it, unless there is a category for this type of pistol (I wouldn't know as I haven't gotten into IDPA, yet). I would bet that STI would make magwells that would fit this pistol, since they make double-stack 1911's/2011's with magwells themselves. Check their website under parts to make sure. The sights on the PW9701LP are also the old GI sights, and I would think you'd need to get the slide milled for better sights to be able to compete with this pistol. Springfield does make some very nice pistols, and I have heard good things about this particular model, but the website you linked to does show this to be out of stock. Good luck!
