S&W customer service sucks. I called them 2 weeks ago to get 3 magazines and they took over a week to ship them out.
John, I just bought a Springfield, Mil Spec all Stainless, for $699.
If you would consider used, I would highly recomend a Gunsmith in Livingston, TX. He is highly acclaimed around here for match quality 1911's, which shoot better than factory. He specializes in Colt Goldcups.

He is a BATF registered gunsmith and can ship to your local FFL.
