Special Versions:
1) Springfield Armory: U.S. ARMY NATIONAL MATCH = 1954 to 1967 (Very hard to identify. Early 1954 models looked like regular 1911A1 and later versions usually had adjustable sights.)
2) U.S. AIR FORCE MATCH = 1958 to 1970 ( Produced by U.S.A.F. Gunsmiths. Very hard to identify except should have AFPG stamped on frame. A M1911A1 similar to Army National Match.)
3) Colt “ACE”: Caliber = .22 Long Rifle S/N 1 to 10,935 = April 1931 to July 1941 (The last 190 or so were assembled from spare parts in 1947) Parts only partially interchangable with a .45 caliber M1911A1 pistol.
4) Colt Service Model “ACE” : Caliber .22 Long Rifle S/N SM 1 to SM 3,836 = Feb. 1936 to Jan. 1943 ( Between 1935 and Sept. 1945, 11,961 Colt Service Model “ACE” pistols were made and their parts were fully interchangable with the .45 caliber
M1911A1.
5) Colt Service Model “ACE” : S/N SM 3846 to SM 13,803 = April 1945 to Sept. 1945 ( Between 1938 and Oct. 1946, a total of 2149 .22-.45 conversion units were made to convert .45 caliber pistols to .22 caliber. They were: S/N U1 to U2670. From 1938 to 1940, .45-.22 conversion units were made to convert Service Model “ACE” .22 caliber pistols to .45 ACP. They were: S/N U1 to U112.)
 
They will be nice and im a ruger fan but a nice colt commander would be about $180 more and a SA loaded champion would be about $130 more.. I much rather have a proven classic over that one
Ruger had been using a Series 70 slide though, which some guys might prefer. I don't know if Colt or SA has any options for series 70 slides. Most are 80 now.

I would not want the Ruger because it is not forged and also agree ^^^^^

nothing wrong with the newer 80's, they are very reliable.

Colt makes a series 70 also now.
 
I don't want to thread jack but have anybody that has Springers tried the Tripp Cobra Mags? Im thinking on getting some but I'm not trying to throw money away. I have tied a few different mags and a lot won't lock my slide back.
