I have one and it is a nice gun. It is comparable in price to the Kimber UCII (which I also have).
Mine has the Rail (PC9802L). http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=9
Didn't really want the Rail, but that's what I got. MSRP is 1363.00 but they sell for around 1100-1200 in the shops. Mine was new but the dealer took out the light in order to sell it quicker and I got it for 929.00. You should be able to get the PX9161L for around the same price.
The black finish is a bit fragile. I already see some small chips of the finish around the magwell.
If I had it to do over again, I would probably have waited and looked for the all stainless version without Rail. http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=5
One reason is the fragile black finish and also it is difficult to find holsters for the Rail Model.
It shoots good. I found it to shoot about 2" low at 15 yards (but a very nice tight group). I filed down the front sight a bit rather than sending it back. No Jams or failure to eject in mine.
You can use a Wilson Combat 7 round mag in it.
I have heard that some of these have problems. So, I guess I got a good one.
Regardless, Springfield C/S is the best there is and will make anything wrong - right. That is if you want to send it to them (which I didn't).
The slim wooden grips are really, REALLY nice! BEAUTIFUL COLOR!
