New Springfield Armory 1911 'Garrison"

[drillsgt]

Springfields killing me, first I need a new SA-35 'Hi-Power' and now they just announced this 'Garrison' model which is a nice blued gun (or stainless) with Novak sights and no front slide serrations, it looks great to me.

As a veteran, the name "Garrison" initially lead me to believe that it was a 1911A1 style pistol and yet when I looked, it has all the extra bells and whistles.

Then I looked up the word garrison.
"Garrison is from the Old French verb garir, meaning "defend, protect."

Ok, fair enough.

Forged Frame, and an MSRP more than $300 less than a Ruger SR1911.

Of course we'll have to wait for the first ones to be 1500.00 or so..

Have any hit the market yet? Definitely will get one

Not sure, I just saw the announcement today.

My prediction is unlike the SA-35 the “Garrison” will be available in numbers like the Emmisary was (at least I saw an Emissary on shelves fairly quick)

This is because unlike the SA 35 Springfield more than likely already has 1911 frames and non forward slide serrations slides in mass. Add some loaded features and they are done.

We shall see

Been waiting for SA to come out with something like this. Web suggests "$800 for the blued version or $849 for the stainless-steel." Count me in for SS version!

I did see a couple Emissary's at the 1500, pretty nice guns and I saw they recently announced a Commander version.

playing catch up, are the SA-35s difficult to find right now?

 

[NyleRN]

Except for the Emissary it looks like SA is taking basic loaded models and putting a different name on it. I don't get the hype

 

[DadSmith]

To many guns so little time. I'm still trying to get the Ronin 10mm and now they bring this one out. That salt bath blued pistol is a nice looking pistol.

This is a nice variation, a lot of people don't like the front slide serrations and with the blued or polished stainless finish these will be popular i'm sure.

Not really, there's a handful on GB right now.
You're going to pay extra for it though.

Yup. I spent good money and time to ditch the ambi safety on my loaded...and I still have the front slide serrations chewing up my leather holsters. If this had been available from the get-go, I'd be money ahead. I like that they're offering it in a true blued finish, too, not parkerized like a lot of their other guns.

 

[Magnum314]

Yup! I'm in for a blued one for sure...whenever it actually becomes available, that is. Lately...can't even get a freaking refrigerator till after the new year it seems--and with a promised price increase to boot! Ugh! And I know it is a picky request...but I would really love one if on the slide it simply and very unobtrusively stated it was a Springfield...as in a nice "billboard-free" slide! I don't need any logos!

And that new HI Power? Yes, please!

You have to look as they are few and far between in the wild
You can find them regularly on Gunbrowker and similar sites usually for over a grand

 

[99zhuggerz99]

To the untrained eye it seems a loaded without front slide serrations and lacking a full length guide rod.

Not familiar enough with the Range Officer (aside from knowing they had adjustable sights) but seems it’s gone and this is here.

This seems to be middle ground between the mil-spec and loaded…but at what advantage and/or disadvantage?

And noticed when comparing via their website, loaded ships with two mags; Garrison deems only one needed.

Sweet. Me likey muchly..........

Looks like my Ronin minus the slide serrations and and the two-tone color scheme. That all blued model is really sharp.
