So, it's a single stack 1911 with an optics cut slide... for $2000? Did I miss something? Is Springfield Armory giving away the optic as a rebate?
Took my kids shooting this weekend. The oldest, being effectively a clone of me, immediately gravitated to the 1911...supposed I'm gonna have to pick up a more modern version for him to shoot with.
