.270 WIN
PROS: I got this firearm from Budsgunshop.com and shot like countless number of rounds through it, mainly 230 gr round ball, aluminum and brass case and some steel just to see if it would run it.
I have shot it with the real heavy 23 lb spring that comes with it and then with a Wilson Combat 17# flat wire spring and a 18# extra power spring by Wolf springs. All shot well with this firearm.
I have used the Mec-Gar mags and Act-Mec mags along with Wilson Combat 47D mags and even tried my friends Ruger 7 and 8 round Ruger mags with no issues. This firearm has great fit and finish for the price and the slide to frame fit is outstanding for what you pay. Even after over 1,000 rounds all I had to send it in for was front sights came out and the safety plunger mount came off the frame. I got the extra lifetime warranty through buds and sent it in fixed me up and back to me quickly all in about 2 weeks.
CONS: The standard GI sights and grip safety, at first when you shoot it kinda give you a bit of rubbing on the grip safety where it meets your hand, Wood grips look nice but on mine not any grip stippling. I also didn't like the Main spring housing being a arched style but I switched that out to a flat style with some work on the Colt flat main spring housing I got and works great.
I also thought that the 23 lb spring was a bit much, the safety is also kinda spongy and the trigger could use some polishing, which I did, and smoothed it out a bit. The trigger is a bit strong pull with not much staging but does to have a quick reset. The only firing issues I have really had with it are and where magazine related, besides that no cons in the firing department.
Then of course getting used to shooting with standard GI style front and rear sights, I really couldn't see when I first shot it how are GI used those sights in combat. The only ammo that I found that it didn't like to much was Winchester White box 230 gr RB FMJ.
I all for what I paid for it $434.00 shipped +$25.00 to my FFL dealer for the paper work that is including the extra for the lifetime warranty, I would give this 5 stars, great shooter. I bought it cause of Hickok45's shooting review of it and his insight on a good budget 1911 that would make a good truck gun.
