Took my sweetheart out to the range today after work at my LGS/R. As I was getting my gear from the trunk a couple gang banger types were leaving. Perfect timing :)
Ran a few hundred rounds through my carry guns (Glock 36 & Sig P230) to stay proficient and then "she" started calling my name.
So out comes the 1911 with the 8 round mag and supplemental 10 round WC mag. Let the fun begin. There is just something magical about the feel of 30lpi checkering on the inside of your fingers and your palm with rich, deeply checkered rosewood holding tightly to the inner sides of your hand. Anyway, on to the report.
I'm a dyed in the wool revolver guy and always have been. I like the bottom feeders ok but they've never held that special place in my heart that the revolvers do. This gun is my first 1911. All I can say is wow. This is the single finest firearm I've ever fired, period.
:D
