Springfield Armory’s M1903 is a seriously legendary piece of equipment and is about as steeped in history as any firearm you could find.

Although it remembers the M1911, which was the standard-issue for the US Armed Forces for over seven decades, it differs in several respects. It does not have the 1911’s grip safety, nor does its thumb safety block the sear, instead blocking the hammer on the Star BM. At Sarco Inc., we...
