Looks nice, but the question begs, how does it shoot?

Runs Great

Thanks for the welcome Mr. Tuner.

The gun runs great. Feeds factory ball and hp using CMC 8 and 10 rnd mags and Willson 8 and 10 rnd mags. Inconsistent feeding with Cobra Mags. It's accurate if you know that it shoots low. I may put a Dawson fiber optic front on it of the proper height.

I'll put it this way. I'm a Browning Hi Power kind of guy. Previous to having P24, when I took a 1911 to the range, I'd take a Kimber Custom Classic (pre S II) or a Dan Wesson Patriot. I'm selling the Dan Wesson.

I designed these PATRIOTS to shoot you in the crotch. OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stans-
Mine shoots POA @ 25yrds, after a little sight adjustment. 2" groups are not uncommon, when I do my part and use good ammo. I have over 2K thru it, with less than a handfull of feeding problems, those were traced to 1 bad mag, since I smashed it with a hammer...No More Problems! This gun shoots with several of my friends, they own Wilsons, Kimbers, Springfields TRPs, and a few other customs and the Patriot will more than hold its own.

Sweet! 2 inches at 25 yards is nothing to sneeze at. I am on cloud 9 when I manage to get a 2 inch group at 25 yards.

PATRIOT 8 did 2 1/2 inches at 50 yards out of a Ransome rest using Triton Ammo. Not bad for a first time builder!
