For those that may not know...

Springfield Armory of today is not the Springfield Armory of yesteryear.

Following the closure of the U.S. Army Springfield Armory in 1968, the L. H. Gun Co. of Devine, Texas, was renamed Springfield Armory, Inc. to capitalize on the name recognition. There is no affiliation or licensing between the original Springfield Armory and Springfield Armory, Inc., despite a timeline on the commercial website of the latter that includes the history of the former. The company's products include M1911 pistols and the M1A rifle series.

I'm sure that many here may already know this but sometimes I wonder just how many are not aware of this fact.

Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that Tesla wasn’t started in 1904 by Nikolai and currently owned by his relative, Elon musk

I can see how a person could get confused.
The government facility Springfield Armory was located in an anti-gun crap hole (MASS) and the company of that name is also located in an anti-gun crap hole (IL).
They're all pretty much the same I guess.

Southern Illinois is a great gun loving area in a horrible state

Springfields are as American made as Ram trucks.

Same here.

I’d also take a Springfield TRP over any 1911 the government ever bought.
