GI vs. 2 piece full lenght guild rod?
I new to 1911's and I would like to know what to look for in one that will be reliable more then match accurate. |

Thats odd because from what I gather the SA loaded is better then the Milspec? I guess what im asking is if the gi is better then why does the Loaded have the 2pgr? Is it just to bump up the price and is it a deal breaker? Thanks again. Springfield ships with a 2pgr because thats what most folks prefer, and several industry manufactures of 1911s use. Purist, for the most part, prefer something closer to the original or GI format of the 1911. Now here is where I break away from that line of thought. 
Like it or not, John M. Browning did not live in our day and age and have at his disposal our current technologies. There are advancements today that, IMO .....make the 1911 a much more reliable beast. A ramped barrel is something I have always preferred. My TRP recently went back to the Custom shop for that work as core focus. Your best bet is to perform plenty of research and understand what you want and don't want. Spend some trigger time behind a few 1911's to figure out what you like and don't prior to buying anything. Barrel Bushing varieties, bull barrels, 2 pgr types, etc. |
