- Well, there seems to be no shortage of Springfield 1911s at the gun shops I've
- been to recently. Also, the Springfield does not have the firing pin block
- which the Colt Series 80s do. This is something unique to Colt, although I
- understand ParaOrdnance has this option, also. (As a total aside, I wouldn't
- mind having the firing pin block, and in fact would prefer it for a carry gun -
- I've seen Series 80 Colts with nicer triggers [perfect!] than the one I had on
- my Springfield [which was damn near perfect]).
