1911 Loaded Operator in 45ACP

[Superzuki]

I just bought one, from a local pawn shop. In excellent condition, nary a mark on it. The barrel looked dirty, I used that to get another $25 off. I just ran a patch through it, and it was just dust. It's a lightweight model with an aluminum frame. Not a big deal for me. I have 9 Sig
P22X's only one has a steel frame, I've shot aluminum frames for years.

I got to the range yesterday, Sunday Oct 18th, I shot this new Springfield and a
Fusion Commander size pistol, both in 45ACP. The Fusion was a bit temperamental about
the ammunition. The reloaded and some loaded rounds were made by a friend of mine,
who was a commercial loader, but used canister powder. The Underwood standard and +P
was loved by both pistols. The Springfield ate every round without a hitch. The Fusion
didn't like some of the JHP rounds. The accuracy of both was superb, but the Fusion didn't
shoot to POI (point-of-aim) with the reloaded rounds. (high left) Made nice groups, though.

All-in-All, quite satisfactory.

Is there an insert in the frame where the feed ramp is?

There is space in the frame for the ramp. It's an extension on the barrel. Springfield has a well designed system
for this pistol. It worked perfectly, and fed both FMJ and JHP bullets.
