We Tested the Savage 1911 and Here's What We Found Out
This review of the Savage 1911 in .45 ACP highlights its good out-of-the-box fit and finish, comparing favorably to higher-end models. The pistol features billet parts, a crisp trigger with no creep, G10 grips, and Novac adjustable sights with a night vision front sight. Initial reliability issues were noted with aftermarket magazines (KCI, Metar), but the factory Savage magazines and Chip McCormick Power Mag functioned flawlessly. Accuracy is reported as good, with the reviewer suggesting minor sight adjustments might be needed. The dual recoil spring system is a unique feature, though its impact on recoil management was deemed less flat than some competitors.
