  Has anyone posted about these yet? The Bobtail with porting looks good... $4000 MSRP doesn't look so hot though!

Springfield custom shop has long offered 10 mm. There just happen to be two options.

   No matter how much of a nut I might be for a certain pistol... I could never pay near 4k for it!

Must come with a Crack pipe so you can rationalize that purchase....4k..pffft :o

Seems like Springfield is the one with the pipe to me

Again, this is not a catalog item.  This is an example of options that can be ordered from the custom shop.

$4K is not un-heard of for a high end fully custom 1911.  A Nighthawk Dominator or Nighthawk Heinie long slide will reach this price as well.

When I first read this, I thought you were talking about the Lipesy's exclusive coming out later this year.

Ya 4K is too much for a single gun to me.  :o

We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.

Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

Its not that its 4K, but what do really get that is much better than a 2K Dan Wesson?

The range I use in a wealthy NYC suburb is loaded with guys shooting Wilsons and other high end guns. They are drawn to the 10 and I let them have a few shots and I shoot theirs.

I don't see a Wilson or this Springfield being worth 2K more than a DW and I wish it was not so. I would spend 4K if it was worth it.

sqlbullet

Yeah.  Don't take my defense of the price wrong.  I wouldn't pay this for a1911.  I am just saying the market apparently will support that price.

Wolfie

Lets face it, a guy with a RI that knows how to shoot, will outshoot the guy with the Wilson that does not know how to shoot.

With things being equal, what are the margins? A inch or 2? Unless you are a competitive shooter it's not worth it.

Linsey's, the distributor, who offered us the Sig 220 in 10MM, is going to offer a run of Springfield Operators in 10MM out of the Custom Shop. Think price is around $1700???
