I've been thinking about it for a while now and I'm trying to decide on trading my hk usp45 for a Springfield 1911 stainless loaded. Anyone have experience with that gun? Is it worth the trade?

There is a sticky about buying a used 1911 (from a good member, Canebrake)

I would suggest that you print it and look at the Springfield with that in hand.

I am not much of a fan of the polymer H&K, but I am a fan of the 1911.

If the 1911 in question is in fine functioning condition then I'd say it's a fantastic trade up!
