What do you want to know? Is it a good gun to shoot, carry, hammer nails, what?
It is a Springfield Armory GI 1911, wood grips, nice look, good finish, whether OD or Parkerized. You can get it in Stainless for about $50 more and still be under $600.

Hey, any constitution that acknowledges the people have a right to own weapons so that they may defend themselves -- including from an out-of-control government -- is OK by me...bkt

Spend a few extra $$$ and move up to the Mil-Spec. Much better sights, flared & lowered ejection port, and stainless barrel. If you do a search on any forum, you'll find folks buy GI's and immediately want better sights. Also, the F&L ejection port keeps brass from hitting you in the face.
I've had multiples of both so this is the voice of experience. My Mil-Spec:

The Mil Spec was my first 1911. The few extra touches were well worth the extra cash. It's a great pistol and it will do everything you want and give you great service. __________________

A few extra touches! Yeah like replacing all the MIM parts inside...about 300 bucks...I'm such a fanatic! for light range use and home protection, the Springfield is a great gun. And yes, get the mil-spec. | |
