Thank you, sir. I wish I knew more of the history of this particular gun. I sought-out potential warranty coverage with first SA then Gunsite when it became apparent that some internal work was needed. The SA rep had to dig a bit to find out anything on this one via the s/n; he’d not heard of these. Alas, neither SA nor Gunsite offered warranty coverage - perhaps as it should be with as much age and assumed usage has taken place with the pistol. I found another source for the work and am soon to put it to the test at the range. Someone with more Gunsite history knowledge may come along to correct me - I think the 2000-era represented somewhat leaner times for the entity...I think this may have been a time of discord between Col. Cooper and the then-owners of the facility. This, all going by memory of what I’ve read, only. I’ll have to grab a close-up pic of the slide stop for you; will post that a bit later. All that said, indeed, the gun has been a really good performer at the range and I’m looking forward to more good sessions with it.

Finally back here with a close-up Springer first, different 1911 below that just for comparison.   |

| That 1911 looks great! I love the honest wear it has.

Very nice picture and thread. I attended Gunsite like many others. My 1911(Kings Gunworks) was handled and approved by Jeff Cooper so I didn’t see need to buy a Gunsite Pistol. Looking back wish I had picked one of the GSP up. It’s a nice keepsake and it can’t hurt to have one more properly set up 1911.

Thank you! Attending Gunsite is definitely something I’d like to do!

| I fired a little over 200 rounds through the GSP this weekend - no issues, lots of grins! There is something strangely addictive about shooting this gun. I stopped at 200+ only because I also needed to work with a couple of other 1911s in the same range session.
