    MC Operator - Q's

    Hey y'all,

    I have the possibility to grab a new Springer MC Operator for a steal. I have a few questions hopefully someone could quickly answer:

    1) This has no FPS correct? Series 70?
    2) Full or standard guide rod?
    3) Adequate for duty use?
    4) Is the grip standard size? It looks big but that may be because of the rubber wraparound grips?

    I also read things on the MEU(SOC) pistol program. Is it true this gun was used or at least parts of it? Out of pure curiosity.

    Any help appreciated.

    1) No Springfield has a FPS

    2) Standard guide rod

    3) If you've shot the piece enough to be comfortable with the magazines and ammunition that you're going to carry, then yes.

    4) Yes, standard 1911 grip.

    Thanks man. for "No Springfield has a FPS". Are you saying No springfield gun in general has a FPS or no, it does have a FPS? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding... damn internet!

    Springfield Armory Inc has never put a firing pin safety in their 1911's.

    Several in service at work doing fine with Speer 230 gr GDs with Wilson ETMs, 47Ds and CMC mags.

    The Springfield Armory MC Operator is one of the two entrants for the Marine Corps MARSOC M45 contract. Here's a Marine Corps Times article about it, and here's a related thread.

    Interesting. I see that the one entered in the MARSOC shoot out was the px9105ml. The MC operator sold nowadays is the px9105mlp. Anyone know the difference with the added "p" at the end of the mfg number?

    The 'P' just refers to the commercial Springfield Armory 'package' which includes a holster, magazine carrier, case, etc.

    Springfield Armory has supplied 1911 parts and (apparently) complete pistols to the Marine Corps for the MEUSOC pistol (which is a different animal than the MARSOC contract).
