Took a couple rounds to get the trigger down. This is 28 rounds from 7 yards. The other rounds were at a Xenegy can on the ground about the same distance. I'm in love. So much better than my XD45. Is not even a comparison really. In the words of Phil Robertson, "Everybody happy, happy, happy." |

No pics of the pistol?
It's hard not to have a good time shooting a good 1911. |

Nice.
What hold did you use? Most SA's I've shot have a 6 o'clock hold. |

Now it's got me thinking I need one for concealed carry... I had started with a "bullseye" hold, dead on. You can see they were high. The actual bullseye hits were made holding at 6 o'clock. Now I understand why my grandpa taught me to shoot that way! I'm used to hitting POA with my XD. |

You don't need another one for carry. At least I think a 1911 full size is good to go for that.

I picked one up a few weeks ago as well. They are definitely nice shooting pistols!
The hard part is deciding what to upgrade   |

Alright, now that you have a pistol that you like, do this: Get yourself a 4" AR500 plate. Start at 10 yards. Work until you can put a full magazine onto the plate, without a miss. Then move the plate back five yards, and repeat. You're not doing horrible, but you and the gun are both capable of more.

http://i.imgur.com/AH0bAJA.jpg?1 The first upgrade I did to mine was the Wilson flat spring and GI guide rod kit, I was very happy with the difference in the ease of racking the slide and the reduced recoil. You will also need a recoil spring plug along with the kit. It's a fairly cheap modification and works great. |

I replaced my guide rod and spring cap as well. Much nicer.
I also replaced the main spring housing to a regular one. Took a little time to fit but now I don't have that silly lock. |

I really believe that if they added a checkered front strap to the loaded even if they had to bump the price to accommodate 20 LPI machine checker that they would sell a metric shit ton of them......I suppose the worry would be infringing on the TRP but if they could accomplish at lets say $999 I think it would be a win

I put some grip tape on mine that I got from Ankert Custom, It looks way better than I thought it would and works great for only $10. |

Grip tape or pach's solve the FS needs.

I'm used to hitting POA with my XD. I bought one of those last week. Of course, being in KaliPornYa, there's a 10 day wait *hand-job* *hand-job* *hand-job*. 
It's the exact one you have, it comes home with me Saturday, well, almost home, it goes from the gun shop to the range with me, then home. Yeah, I am going to shoot the piss out of it before I bring it home. I'll post up a range report after. Bought a bunch of white box to shoot up, keep the cases and reload. plenty of powder and primers on my bench. need more cases and boolets.
