Obviously this gun looks nice, but how do Springfields shoot and handle and all that good stuff. The range I go to doesn't have any Springfield 1911s to shoot so I would like some opinions and info from those who use them. Thanks guys. Oh yeah, is the XD supposed to have such a stiff trigger?

My new Operator is the best shooting pistol I have ever fired. It makes my custom Colt Series 80 feel like junk.

And yes, the XD has a stiff trigger. You gotta remember that with the XD, the first portion of the pull is overcoming a safety, then you get to the "real" trigger pull. They get better as you shoot them, but if you want to spring for the money, the SA custom shop does a great action job.
