Ready For My CCL Renewal Class

What? No comments on my link pin adjustments to fix my hard to rack slide? Thought that might help someone or be informative. Wrong section I guess.

If we had to requalify, my goal would be to see how fast I could rapid fire and produce an acceptable target.

I haven't had that issue. But thanks for sharing.

Just so you don't feel neglected, I had a loose link pin that would fall out when field stripped. FLG whacked it with a sharp punch to stake it in place.

Love it! I call it my pimp gun. I have wooden WW 1 diamond grips as well for a more historic look but I thought “what the helll, why not.”

I've heard it as "My Sunday go-to-meetin' gun."

I guess it depends on your perspective.

Also heard it as "My barbecue gun."

I just can’t leave this 1911 alone. I cut the white grips for access to the mainspring pin and still reverted back to my wood grips. Maybe a white grip on one side and wood on the other side.
Kidding.

Yay! Got it completed today. Cold windy day made cold stiff fingers and I got in a bit of a hurry (nerves) but still outshot the plastic pistols. Great instructor and friendly fellow shooters. I gotta do it again in 5 more years.
Not too bad for a frozen old man using WW1ish gunsights.

Classic pistol, hard holding, especially w/those sights. Never could shoot the 1911A1's and then I shot a 1911.....love at first sight. Amazing how much difference that arched housing makes.
