I have to say I am overly impressed with this pistol. The trigger is amazing! The weight is great. It fed 100 rounds. No hiccups at all! The grouping was nice. Worth every penny! I really like the MecGar mags I purchased. They loaded all 9 with ease and performed perfectly. I just some Remington and Winchester 115grain FMJ from the safe and off to field I went.

I got a tad cocky and took my 1st 5 shots right out of the box at 25 yards.

This pic I was at 20 yards. I shot 5 shots with a 2 second pause between shots and the other five which are a little more all over the place are drawing from holster and fire as fast and safely as possible.

next is 15 yards. 15 shots 2 seconds between each shot. that one large hole is 10 shots. The holes a little more scattered are drawing from holster both eyes open, fire, safety, holster, repeat as fast and safely as possible

Nice shooting! I keep telling myself I don't need another 1911 but I know I would like this one. Thanks for the pics.
 
Congrats! I love mine. Got one when they first came out. It's a sweet shooter. I had ADCO extend and thread my barrel so I could shoot it suppressed.
 
Mine quickly developed into my favorite center fire semi auto. Took it out again last weekend and it digested another 200 rounds. It's never had a hiccup no matter what ammo I load into it.
 
After several years of looking and telling myself I really didn't need one I went ahead and ordered one last week. Expected delivery is by the end of this week. I am so ready!
 
I just picked one up about 3 weeks ago. I've only got 100 rounds through it so far and it was flawless. I love mine too. Good shooting!
 
Picked up mine a few days ago. Disassembled, cleaned and lubed. Now waiting for a chance to get to the range. Trigger feels sweet!
 
I shot mine again last weekend and as a FREE bonus I picked up over 200 brass someone left scattered in the grass!

That's a great bonus. Love folks who don't reload.
 
Have had mine to the range twice now. Consistently shoots left of point of aim by about 2 1/2-3inches at 30 feet. Moving the rear sight this week and then back to range . Love the gun!

Shot mine again today and it also shoots to the left about 1-1/2 to 2". Got to fix that before the next range trip.

After twice having the rear sight tweaked a bit I'm now happy with the sights. At this point its now my eyes but the gun shoots great.

It was a had no sleep night on my birthday bid and woke up to a win.
