How does Springfield compare to the pistols mentioned?

It does not.

OP, you may want to consider what you are using it for. If you are just taking it to the range or around the house, the 1911 will do. Just buy a jar of peanut butter to go with it.

If you are taking it to the mountains/hiking/bear country, get a Glock.

I do hate XDs though and I'm a huge Springfield fan.

I disagree. I don't really care for any of the plastic fantastics, but I kind of like my XD. I have two Glocks that I keep but won't buy another one. I bought a sub compact XD and it makes me want another one.

I have a Glock 20 that I got on a trade that included a puppy on the OB. Previous owner I think shot it competitively. It came with two barrels and four magazines. I love shooting that thing. I bought a .40 wolf barrel for it too and it makes it to the range relatively regularly. You know when you are going to the range to work on something and you think 'I should bring another gun' it's usually the one that goes.

It's surprisingly easy to shoot. I was expecting it to recoil similar to a .357 but it doesn't. It's much more controllable. It was hanging up a little bit so I replaced the recoil spring about a week ago. He had some big thick recoil spring in there that looked nothing like its stock replacement. Guessing that and isolating whichever magazine will fix that problem. Im actually waiting on a 10mm shipment to arrive to find out.

Love that gun.


One big problem with .10 is finding factory loadings that are not loaded to .40. Mag tech and Sellier seem to be more powerful than Federal and other US made stuff.

Underwood ammo! You're welcome.

(Would not own a Colt Delta Elite built after 2020)

Out of curiosity, why not?

When CZ purchased Colt in 2021 they ramped up production on the Delta Elites and the QC drastically declined. Not all were bad but they were really inconsistent in fit and finish and QC. You could get one that worked great or you could get one that was horrible. I'm a Colt guy and I bought one. Out of the box the slide locked up….not a single round fired. Colt would not let me exchange for a new one at the dealer and made me ship it to them.
Right now there are better options available imo.
