SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 Single Handgun Wooden Box

I like the wooden case - it’s sturdy and the rugged looking appearance takes me back to wooden ammo cases from my Army days. It’s a box I would display in my office. What I cared for the least was the insert to hold the pistol. It seems too shallow; I was expecting my 1911 to fit a little tighter and line up better. Granted mine is a SIG SAUER and this was for a Springfield 1911 A1 Model Box but one can only hope it would have fit any 1911. It was a risk and I took it.

Got this in to present my son with a Stainless Springfield 1911-A1 as well as support tools and data in original plastic case - is attractive - needs a few coats of satin or high gloss poly u to seal the wood properly - internal silhouette insert could be better or redone - as this case will be used to present a hand held system that is now hard to come by and expensive - you may decide to take insert and pistol to a local shop like a fabric specialty shop to get an exact fit for your system in a color that enhances the presentation you want

Took a shot on this box. Other reviews knock the quality, but it's perfect for my needs. It is a perfect fit for my commemorative John Wayne 1911 BB pistol. I had a piece of foam that fit the inside of the box, that I cut out to fit the pistol. As previous reviewers have stated, the included insert isn't very good. My foam looks a lot better. If you need a simple display box this is worth the price. Paid an extra $10 for the shipping, and it arrived in a day. Amazon comes through again!

I have a Colt not a Springfield, but I really liked the vintage look of the box. I decided to give it chance and I absolutely love it! I read other reviews that claimed the mold that came with the box was too small. That's definitely not the case for a Commander or the magazine, it fits like a glove. I like to keep my pistol on the nightstand beside my bed when I'm not carrying it and it's perfect. The box is beautiful and I can get to my pistol very quickly if I need to. You get best of both worlds.

This case was not what I expected. The box joints were not tight and there were unfilled holes and valleys where brads and staples were driven in. The box needs to be sanded down, and then the sawdust with glue added could be used to fill the holes, and then it could be refinished. The top cannot be completely sanded because of the markings on it, but the fastener damage is only around the edge, so that shouldn't be a problem.All things considered, the box was not a bad value for the price. I just wish I knew the condition when I ordered it.

I like the rustic look but it was lacking a nice presentation. A little polyurethane and satin made it a very nice display box.

Loving this antiqued vintage style box for the .45 1911!!!! Like others have mentioned, I may seal it with a lacquer finish, but I don't think it really needs anything. It's a matter of what you want. Totally subjective. 5 STARS because there is nothing else like it, and when my original box was stolen, I was in need of a Springfield box. This MORE than fit the bill. Love it!!!

The box is well made, but looks like they used the cheapest wood available. Overall, it's ok, but I generally like it
