I have to choose one and having a hard time doing so. Both in stainless. The Milspec is a 3 hour roundtrip drive. Meet in person, come home with it. Comes with three different grips, and the plastic holsters and mag carriers, few others extras.

Jun 25, 2012. Regarding the 'N' / 'NM' frame, Rex is referring to the serial numbers. The NM framed guns have more assembly done in the US than Brazil, every now and then you can find some of the lower tier Springfield guns like the Loaded and even some MILSPECs with the 'NM' prefix serial number, but they're. No, not dinner and a movie. Appearantly the search function is not my friend. I have tried several wordings, but to no avail. I need some help determining the manufature date of my SA. I was told it looked like an early Mil-Spec with the NM serial number. It does have the NM at the begining of the serial.

It has an idiot mark and frame stamped made in Brazil.I know this does not affect anything but aesthetics. But it *kinda* matters to me. Its 600 face to face, plus the 30ish in gas. The GI stainless I prefer the looks, from the serrations to the non lowered and flared port.

Cenusareasa Disney Desene Animate In Limba Romana Download. Frame stamped Geneseo, IL which also kind of matters to me. It only comes with one mag, one grip. This is 585 plus 35 with transfer fees. I know it makes no sense, but I think I like/want the GI more.despite the fact that the milspec is almost sure to be a better shooter- lowered flared ejection port, way better sights.also saves me money as it comes with 4 magazines, and the wood grips I would have to buy for the GI.

Also, just a slight bonus on the Milspec, but it is nice not having to do the paperwork and wait the 3 days to 'cool down'. Really having a tough time deciding between em.milspec makes so much more sense.but I like the GI more. These are going to be for the range, but also they will need to be 100%.they will be used for home defense. I've heard Springfield stands behind their product if either one has an issue. I understand how you feel, because I went through almost the same thing myself.

I also like the looks of classic 1911's with vertical slide serrations in the rear only. My first 1911 was a Springfield G.I., but I ended up selling it after purchasing a Colt 1991. Feature wise the guns are pretty similar, except the Colt has the lowered ejection port and much more user friendly sights. My Colt was also built much better than my G.I., was more accurate, had a better trigger pull, and hasn't failed yet to boot. The Colt did cost more, but it was money well spent IMO.

In 2005 a buddy and I both bought stainless Mil-Specs from the same place on the same day at the same time (over the internet.even shipped together).mine had the NM serial and his had the N serial number. The front sights were a different design the blasted areas of stainless were darker on the N serial'd pistol the interior showed smoother finishing on the NM serial'd pistol both are just as reliable today as any 1911 pattern pistol the upgrades on the Mil-Spec over the G.I. Are well worth the difference in price if those are things you want. I wouldn't worry about the serial number so much as they are all 'made in Brasil' but the NMs are finished here.unknown on the stainless G.I. The 'idiot mark' can probably be mitigated with Flitz or a 3M scratch pad and some time.
