PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Springfield LTW Compact

I have been shopping for a 1911 for sometime and have been reading everything I can on the forums. This is a great site with alot of great info on all of the various types of 1911. I found a great deal on a Springfield LTW Compact. Was wandering if anybody could give me some insite on this model.
I know it is no longer produced but I was needing a CCW and wanted something with at least a 4" bbl. It came with 2 chip Mccormick 7rnd magazines. Any info you guys could give me would be great. Thanks

Just bought one used....

shoots okay, had many glitches, though: slide pin walks out, front sight was loose, grip safety was a touch unreliable, ejector did not go over the rim of the round, keeping slide open.

What I liked: very light, short butt makes for easier concealability, 4" barrel gives a good sighting distance for me and the recoil spring is much lighter than on the Springfield Micros.

By the way, my factory mags hold 6 rounds and are flush to the bottom of the butt. Also, my Compact had Trijicon night sights

Sent if off to Jack Fuselier to have it and the mags nickel plated and the glitches taken care of. Also, am planning to install a short triger.

This is my first 1911 and I really like the single action trigger.
