Click on a term to search for related topics. Sep 12, 2001 - i have a springfield that i bought new in early 2000. I think it was a older production gun, anyway it has a NM prefix on serial number and no. We thought it might have been a basic 1911-A1 style from SA. If you'll check out the site and the archives at 1911forum.com.you'll see more than you wanted to.

I have a springfield that i bought new in early 2000. I think it was a older production gun, anyway it has a NM prefix on serial number and no brazilian markings anywhere. I haven't seen any others with the NM an fellow at the range was saying it was a national match gun, i feel he is full of poop. Whats up with the prefix?

Also this gun had a satin stainless finish, ext.thumb safety and slide release, wood grips and mil spec sights and and grip safety, it also had the old style rear cocking serrations. Is this an odd equipped gun or standard issue for the time? If you'll check out the site and the archives at 1911forum.com.you'll see more than you wanted to know I'm sure. In short.SAs' factory is in Brazil.

There are a FEW models fitted and finished in the USA.Almost all the production pistols are made, fitted, and finished in Brazil. You can contact SA for info on the models that are fitted and finished here.More than likely.it will be the TRP Pro, The Trophy Match and anything that is custom ordered will be done by Dave Williams and crew at the SA Custom Shop.

I have an SA Champion that I've had for almost a year.It was ok for a while, but I had to replace the ejector, extractor, safety and buff it up a little.It's totally trustworthy now.They are a good place to 'start'. And the pistols from the Custom Shop are at a different level than the rest of the production pistols. Sasural genda phool online.

They are getting better all the time according to the posts I've seen and from other owners comments I've seen. You can contact me at if you need anything further. _________________ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>g2[ This Message was edited by: gyp_c2 on 2001-10-04 18:30 ].

Click to expand.The G.I. Model has vertical serrations and the Mil-Spec and Loadeds have the slanted serrations on the slide. It would be pretty hard to make a G.I. Pistol look like a Loaded in this regard. If the owner went as far as to add a fitted beavertail (with radius cut frame), have forward serrations cut into the slide, dovetail the sight cuts, add Novak sights, a three hole trigger with an overtravel stop, an ambidextrous safety, added ambi safety grips (or modded the originals to fit) and pay to have the entire pistol refinished to hide the evidence from these modifications, they've sunk more money in the pistol than a Loaded costs NIB. They'd be forced to take a hge hit on the pistol anyways, and you'd be looking at a good buy in my opinion.

Wow, I guess I've pretty much outlined the differences between a G.I., Mil-Spec and a Loaded models!
