First experience with a 1911

[Sturgis270]

Had lunch with a couple of retired friends today in Waukesha and afterwards we went down the street a few blocks to Fletchers Gun Range. Browsed the store and checked out the good supply of guns to rent. Had never had the opportunity to shoot a 1911 so rented a SR 1911 CMD. After punching a lot of holes in the paper I can state I do like the feel of that firearm. Thinking after the holidays it will be time to pick one up. :lol:

it would be hard to find a better dollar for dollar value in the industry. I like mine better than my Kimbers.

I like mine so much I just had to buy another.

You're hooked. A lot of folks who shoot 1911's will also have a full size 1911 in .22lr. Which is a little cheaper to practice with than the .45, unless you reload. There's several on the market. I have a Sig 1911-22, but there are others. If you decide to go that route, make sure it matches the function and features of the .45 as close as possible.

Just remember,
they are like Lay's potato chips, you can't have just one. :roll:
