Springfields are full of MIM parts if that matters to you? I'm a "wait a little longer for a better gun" person.
As such, I'd recommend looking at a Dan Wesson Valor or used Les Baer Custom Carry or TRS.
No MIM in the Valor line or any LB.
It's funny you mention the Valor because I spent a couple days reading up on them! Also spent some time looking at videos and reading on Wilson Combat...oh mama...some fine looking firearms. Ended up dreaming about owning one the other night! Lol!
