Just FYI.. I bought my S/A Loaded Target from a guy on Gunbroker 7-1-2014.. (my only Gunbroker purchase) for $850.00 + 35.00 FFL transer.
I PM'd with the seller, guy in georgia before purchasing, he seemed / was honest, gave me all the factory stuff with it , inc. paperwork + 4 Metalform 9mm mags.
Those mags work well, but the top edges are sharp. ( I like Mec Gar mags better)
Later, I had my gunsmith, Doug Jones ( a local firearm expert , & 1911 builder, / & my personal firearm guru ) Checker the front strap, machine the top of the slide flat, (with some nice lines added for appearance,)+ do asst polishing , trigger work ,etc.. put probably another $300.00 in it.
Doug gives me a deal on work I have done..I give him referrals.
My Springfield isn't for sale..wouldn't sell it for 2X what I have invested. It'll pass on to one of my 2 sons.
I don't ike the ambi safety either, maybe someday I'll get rid of it..guess it really doesn't bother me.
