Tater Head Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Dumb question regarding 1911 slide serrations. Is this pistol eligible for "Traditional" Wild Bunch Matches? https://www.springfield-armory.com/1911-series-handguns/1911-mil-spec-handguns/ . The serrations are slanted forward. The hand books says "•Only rear slide checkering or serrations. No front slide checkering or serrations". II'll use a different pistol if this one not allowed.

J. Frank Norfleet Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yes, for all Wild Bunch JFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The "forward slide serrations" describes a position on the slide, not the slant of the serrations. Your picture has the serrations on the rear half of the slide. As J Frank stated, legal for any category. Serrations on the FRONT half of the slide, forward of the ejection port, would be ones that are not allowed in Traditional WB categories (because they were not applied to many 1911s until about the 1980s). good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Head Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Thanks for your reply JFM, I've used this in local matches and one one ever said anything one way or the other. I did cover the white dots on the sights. I really like the trigger on my MilSpec. It's as good as my Gold Cup. Thanks Again, Tater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Head Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Thanks Joe! I thought so but wanted some confirmation. I probably won't shoot in any of the big matches but wanted to know for my own satisfaction. Thank Again, Tater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I am aggravated by this for two reasons: 1. I passed up a nice one of these because of the serrations 2. I told another shooter wrongly! Mostly #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Head Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi Deacon, sorry you passed up one. I've really enjoyed mine for years. I think the guy you're thinking about picked a good one anyway and probably cheaper.Lol! Thanks for reply. Tater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sights on the Springfield are really much easier to see than the mil-spec nubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Burn Powder Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 OK guys so I didn't buy one yet.....would you opt for the Springfield or the Auto Ordinance, I am not worried about the cost I want the better gun. One has wooden grips that's already a big plus for me????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tater Head Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 I think I'd go with the Springfield. I've had mine for more than 10 trouble free years and 3-4000 rounds through it. Last year I bought one of these. https://www.classicfirearms.com/sds-imports-1911-a1-service-model/ . All parts are supposed to be interchangeable with a G.I. 11911. They claim the only difference is the lowered ejection port. Mine is the olive drab one. I've put right at a thousand round of reloads through it with no problems. Accurate as any USGI pistol I've ever had. Bought it because of the price and curiosity. Very pleased with it except the hammer bite. I've got fleshy hands. Worth taking a look at. Check out what they have to say about it in a 1911 Forum. https://www.1911forum.com/search/99910/?q=tisas&o=relevance Springer is my first choice.

The WBAS Rules Committee (and the majority of WB shooters) would (most likely) disagree with that opinion...IMO. Have you looked at the number of separate dedicated discussion boards on that forum? Combining CAS and WBAS discussion groups would be a moderator's nightmare! (again, IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
