I only trust my 1911 friends to give good advice on guns.

I know a lot of 1911 purists will give me grief over this, but I used to shoot a Para LDA in Production. It's as 1911 as you can get in the class. And it's definitely close enough for me. I love the trigger in those.

I vote for #2. I think the black looks best on a two-tone gun.

#2 !!!

#1 ! 

Just went to the local gunshop for my son to pick up his SIG AR.

 

While there I got some .45acp for practice. $31.99 a box of 50 and would only sell 200 rounds at a time due to people "hoarding".

 

Needed more brass to reload with.

[GmanCdp]

just so disgraceful..........

 Also there is a large wing on the back so you don't get torn up by the upper slide when it recylces for the next shot. (OK for CAlifornia Sales) A quality shooter....

 

a " large wing" ???? this guy should be band forever to own a  1911........

Been a long time, but he's back! Been shooting a lot of Production/IDPA ( I know, I know, but I have to carry a M&P on duty, and I feel like I need to be semi proficient with that piece of plastic) but it's time to get back to 1911's, might shoot L10 at the Nats with one.

Picked this guy up today, a widow of a local police officer was selling off his collection. Looks like someone at Wilson Combat massaged it over. Gonna see how it shoots at tomorrow's Steel Challenge match. Trial by fire!

Sweet looking blaster

No practice shots fired for 4 years, shot one 3 stage match a year ago, did 30 minutes of dry fire the afternoon prior....

Won 4 of 5 stages, finished second the other stage. But, not taking anything away from the other SS'ers, they were below my A Class. That said, it was my first ever clean match. Being I knew I was not going to be sharp, my goal was a clean match and I did it (slow was my friend).

OK, off to shoot a steel match today, taking my 17 year old son for him to shoot his first ever match of any kind today.

Happy Days

This made me smile.

I was the #2 in this story and no kidding I hadn't fired a .45 in a match since about....hmmmm, let's see...1993. The day before the match the set up A-Team (Mr. Steve, Mike, Tommy, wildman Bill, Mr. Frank, etc.) caught me chronoing some .45 loads making sure the gun/ammmo was making major and delivered the appropriate heckling. After the chrono checks I did two snappy bill drills with splits slower than old people hump and called it good. Shot the match using an old Colt .45 tact gun built for SOF type matches I used to shoot. Had a couple ammo/mag related malfs, and that dang Texas star ate my lunch since I really didn't sight the gun in that well...but overall had a blast! I figure I'll shoot next month's classifier match to get classifed in SS and if fate smiles kindly on me I might actually spend a little time fixing mags and sighting the gun in beforehand!
Thanks for the good times! It was an honor to be beat by you, Sir!

The instant feedback of steel was just the ticket
