Hello everyone, Thought I would share about the new 1911 that I had gotten in a few days ago. In case you was thinking about buying one, I hope this helps you out.
Went to the range yesterday to test function and accuracy and I have to say that I am very pleased accuracy wise with factory loads from Winchester 230 GR RN ammo. Also shot some reloads and got O.K accuracy but could use some fine tuning.
Anyways, About the gun.
BTW, This is my first 1911, So I don't know what to really expect but we will see what happens?
For under $500, It is a pretty decent 1911. I how ever did run into a problem with it. More on that later.
When I first opened the box at the FFL that does my transfers, This thing look like they threw into a bucket of cosmoline without the grips on it and let it sit for a while in there. It was covered everywhere.
After inspecting it, The fit was decent and the finish was O.K. Got home, Took it apart and cleaned it as much as possible...Twice. It really was dirty. Bad girl.
Let start breaking it down some.
Sights - Novak Style. I LIKE these sights quite a bit. This guy pretty much shoots where you point it at and you can get your sights back on target pretty quickly with these. The only thing is, Im thinking about changing to a front fiber optic sight. Very hard to see all black sights when the sun is setting
Grips - The factory grips that are on them feel smooth and easy in the hand. Not the best maybe but definetely not the worst out there. They feel natural in my hand. I like em, Might change them out eventually but for now they will do the trick.
Trigger - Very little take up, Nice clean break. Feels smooth, I'm not sure if I want to change the trigger out. It feels just fine.
A downside to this purchase was one magazine. But that's ok, Bought a Kim Pro mag and fits very good.
Here is a few pics of the gun and the target I had used the Winchester 230GR RN 100 pack from Wal-Mart.
