 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're looking at another new release from Springfield Armory. I have to say, I have never seen a manufacturer put out as many guns as Springfield Armory has in the last 12 months. Let's quickly run through that and you'll know what I mean. They recently came out with the Hellcat Pro with a 3.7 inch barrel and 15 round mags, the St. Edge ATC Precision Rifle with a 223 wild barrel, the Hellion Bullpup in 556, the 1911 Garrison in 45 ACP, 1911 Operator in 45 as well, the High Power Clone called the SA-35. Nobody saw that one coming. The 1911 Ronin EMP, very subcompact 9mm handgun, the XDM Elite Compact OSP chambered in 10mm. They also came out with the Emissary, that's a 1911, it's now available in 9mm and also in a commander size as well as the Hellcat RDP Rapid Defense Package. That's a lot in the last 12 months. If you recall, back in November of 2021, Springfield Armory released the Garrison 1911 handgun chambered in 45 ACP. They have a stainless model like this and a blued model. They kept the MSRP under $900 and a lot of people took notice. Well today, April 22nd 2022, Springfield is releasing the Garrison chambered in 9mm, has a 9 round mag and it kept the MSRP the same, $899 for the stainless, $849 for the blued model and I think it's a beautiful looking and shooting handgun. Now if you go with this, you'll get the 9 round mag, the pistol in this case right here with a padded soft case, this model $899 which is quite a bit cheaper than many of their other 1911s. Check out those grips. Wood grips, diamond checkering, it has the Cross Cannon Springfield insignia right there, flat mainspring housing, heavily textured, no texturing on the front strap, memory bump, extended beaver tail, skeletonized trigger and hammer and Novak style sights. See it ramps up a bit, three dot and it has a matte top of the slide and a shiny side of the slide. Side of the slide I guess is the way to say it. But you check it out and you shoot a 9mm out of a full size handgun like this, it is so smooth. It has a forged barrel, match grade barrel, five inches, forged frame and forged slide. So they didn't go cheap at all with this and the overall shooting impressions are excellent. When I took this to the range on a couple occasions it was very very nice. No recoil and it kept you on target. Now I mentioned it has a five inch match grade barrel but that trigger breaks right at four and a half pounds and that is why I love 1911s right there. So smooth, so light and the reset is like nothing. And I shot very well with this. If you want to build your confidence, grab a 1911 or full size handgun and shoot that 9mm it will build confidence and this did it for me as well. No doubt about it. The 9mm barrel is fully ramped and this is a 70 series. So it doesn't have that firing pin block in there, makes it nice and smooth, easy to handle. The thumb safety is on the left side so that is not ambidextrous but I did take it apart. It disassembles like any other 1911. So let's go ahead and show that as well as some range footage and we'll come back in and talk more about it. To disassemble the garrison it's like any other 1911. We'll take the mag out, we'll show clear and it is clear. We'll start with the barrel bushing, push that spring down you have to hold on to that so that it does not come flying out at you. Move that barrel bushing off to the side. Some people call this a plunger, doesn't matter. And now take the tension off of the slide then we'll move the slide back and push that pin out. Remove that and off comes the slide from the frame. Here we'll see a GI style guide rod. We'll go ahead and take that bushing all the way off, move that link forward and pull that barrel out and there it is. It's a bit dirty. I'm gonna clean it up and put it back together. So today Springfield Armory is releasing the garrison offered in stainless and blued chambered in 9 millimeter. There are a lot of people who say I love 1911's. I want to shoot 9 millimeter. I get more in the mag. I have softer shooting impressions. I like to weigh the 9 millimeter handles and you know the 1911 trigger you just can't beat it. Very thin wood grips. Nice overall feel. Fits in a regular 1911 holster. Same dimensions and everything. It's just chambered 9 millimeter and it is a good looking and shooting handgun. So if you're one of those people you'll love the garrison and it's priced well under a grand under 900 actually. We'll see what the gun stores sell for but this MSRP is $8.99 and the blued $8.49 and I think it's a pretty fair deal and I think it's going to make a lot of people happy.
