I really hate to leave a firearm in a motor vehicle (and this is NOT a criticism as sometimes this is the only thing you can do besides leave it at home or stay there yourself.)
Given this, and your request for thoughts on replacing with a Springfield, I think you have answered your own question,ktusc wrote:yeah. I've been told the same. I'll have a replacement by then but it sure would be nice to get it back. It is the most comfortable shooting gun that I've shot.
especially consideration a gracious dealer is going to help you at cost -- a very nice price.
Unless you feel the need to change caliber, type, capacity, etc for some tactical reason then:
It is the most comfortable firearm that you have ever shot. What could be better than that?
