AAR on the SR1911 10mm I picked up last week (ripping deal, $701 OTD).
The overall impression of the pistol is good.
You
will need the manual for initial disassembly/reassembly, there is a hole in the FLGR that allows for a pin to keep the recoil spring compressed and out of the way. Other than that, it's a straightforward field strip and reassembly.
The range experience was about what was expected, 100 round of Prvi 180gr JHP, the first few mags were a little left at 10 yards, a total of 10 clicks on the sights brought POA/POI together. There was some vertical stringing, I'm positive it was me getting accustomed to the trigger. When proper technique and breathing were used holes magically appeared in the 10 ring. I'll give the trigger some time to break in, it may end up getting some attention from a gunsmith, it feels a little long and heavy, no scale to measure it.
I picked up 20 rounds of Hornady Custom 180gr XTP at the range, POA/POI was dead on at 10 yards. This stuff is significantly more energetic than the Prvi.
There were 8 failures to feed from slide lock in the first 120 rounds. I tried slingshotting, dropping the slide stop, and even loading the mag while in battery and racking the slide. It didn't seem to matter what technique was used. There was also one FT feed with the Hornady.
The pistol is
tight, no need to get worked up over the FTF yet, the parts may need time to knock off the rough edges.
Overall impression? It's staying. I'll burn through the case of Prvi and use the recovered brass to feed the 550. A conversion kit for .40/10mm is in my future
