So I've had my Springfield MC Operator for about a year and put less that 1000 rounds through it so far. The last range outing I noticed that the roll pin in the front sight had backed its way out a few millimeters. I assume this pin is what keeps the sight from sliding side to side when shooting? Anyways, called Springfield Armory and they are sending me a new roll pin. I have not done any mods to the slide or sights at all and is all factory.
A few months after I bought it new, the rear sight had drifted itself all the way to one side. Sent it back to Springfield so they could take a look at it and also install a magwell. I was just wondering if this is a common occurrence or if it has happened to anyone else. |

I have no idea where it was assembled. SN starts with "NM"
So I guess I'm not the only who had this happen. Also, this is my first 1911 with an ambi safety. I noticed that the right side of the safety is pretty loose and wobbles up and down like a loose tooth. The safety still functions fine but it's just irritating that a weapon of this caliber feel that cheap. |
