Have you called SA with the SN? I am sure they could tell you

The skeleton hammer and trigger makes it seems like a Loaded. The Mil-Spec and GI models didnt have these features.

The mil-spec and GI also didnt have front cocking serrations. Its probably either a loaded or a custom. Loaded is my bet.

Looks like a Loaded to me.

Good catch.

I'm going to say it's a Springfield Loaded, but you can certainly call SA and give them the serial number and they can tell you what model you have.

jtkratzer · 01-07-2008, 07:11 PM

I'd say a loaded with the ambi safety removed...the loaded has an ambi safety, if I remember correctly.

since you bought it not knowing what it is, did the original owner not know, and you bought it with out positively knowing what model since it was such a steal ?

According to Springfield, all loaded models have a dovetail front sight, which this does not. Although I can't find a match to it on the site either.
It shouldn't be a customized GI since the slide serrations are slanted....on the GI they are 90 degrees to the rails.

It will be interesting to find out.
