| 230 or 185 Grain Ammo? I understand the 185 grain with the slightly shorter barrel allows for faster follow up shots and less stove pipes. |
| I have had better luck with 200 grain then anything in guns 4" and under. It is what Bill Wilson recommends you shoot and I have found it to be true. Also if your running an aluminum frame 200 grain seems to have less felt recoil. 200 and less grain ammo actually slows down the slide speed which is what you want in a compact 1911. |

I shoot everything in my steel framed 1911's. They just don't care. Even the 3" Officers model eats everything.
I've only got 2 lightweights, one in .45 and one 9mm. They eat everything too, but the .45 gets a steady diet of hand loaded 200gr SWC's and 185gr Golden Sabers. |
