Hate to rub it in, WWB, but isn't Wisconsin one of about 3 states without CCW?
Capt, can't offer much advice on those pistols; I like the 1911 myself, but I don't think you could go wrong with either. Hopefully, through friends at the range you've had an opportunity to shoot both. The completeness of the Springfield package is pretty attractive. Doesn't it come with kydex as well as spare mag?
