They come with 30 day warranty meaning uf something is wrong with pistol, they will get you into one that is of equal value that works. Just a heads up my friend. Chow! :hello:

They were discontinued for a short while there and brought back by popular demand. It's been my main carry piece for some time. I liked the handgun enough to send it and 1400.00 bucks to Clark Custom and had it completely reworked. It did take several trips back to Clark to get the aftermarket grip safety and trigger dialed in, Clark Jr worked on it himself the last trip back, after that it has been a increadable performer.

Springfield agreed to have a look at it on their dime and it came back better but not what I would expect.
Just one man's experience.
