New Target Garrison 1911

I was hoping for a checkered front strap. Awwww. But I would buy a Springfield every time over a Turkish import. Now, easy, before you all start, the Springer is a known factor. YEARS and high round counts under its belt. The Turks seem nice at first blush, but I don't know how they will hold up over the years. Don't want to Beta test it. Before you defend the Turk without personally having a high round count, put on your marketing hat. If you are building to a price, your choice of alloys will be affected by that. If your marketing research indicates most people that buy at that price point never hit 5,000 rounds, well, you build to that. Spending more to benefit the customer does not benefit you. It is easier/cheaper to warranty fix the few that fall outside your research. Or ignore them. Because you will still sell if they are cheap. If a consumer is price shopping, they get what they expect. You charge more, you eliminate those customers, and premium 1911 builders say good riddance. Because a cheap customer is never satisfied. They always want more free stuff or discounts for their perceived inconvenience YOU caused them by selling them the product they were willing to pay for. And they are the problem, and as a seller you can't fix that.

Springfield brings great quality at a great price. Buy cheaper if you think that is better in the long run...you might win betting against me. But I will continue to both use and praise the Springfield 1911. I think it is the best value on the market, and has been for years.

Hot salt blued carbon steel and wood, the definition of tradition.
The .45 ACP Garrison Target takes the classic and proven 1911 design and combines heirloom-quality construction with the modern features today’s shooters demand, including an adjustable rear sight for competition-minded applications. The result is a rock-solid 1911 in the hard-hitting .45 ACP chambering with forged steel construction, modern upgrades and the strength to provide a lifetime of service.

Well, the SA-35 frames and slides were forged in Turkey and finished at Springfield, not sure about current models…..
