    Free States - Gotta Love Em

    Walked into my LGS today and walked out with a Sig 1911 Scorpion.
    I love living in a free state!

      Dude you are living in a free state! Get a 1911 without an external extractor!

        Why pass up one of the best pistols in its price class just because it has an external extractor?

        Personally I could care less if it’s internal or external, the Sig 1911 pistol are sweet, plus I think they look good as they are.

                For $990 plus change, it was a no-brainer.
                The added plus is that they gave me more for my XD-M .40 than I thought I would get.

                      Range report:
                      After an initial cleaning and lubing, I took the baby to the range today to break it in.
                      I had brought a mixed load (all factory) of 230 gr Winchester SXZ (training), 185 gr Remington Golden Saber +P, Federal 230 gr Hydra Shocks, and some 230 gr American Eagle FMJ (not shown).



                      Note: I used 2 stock mags and 1 McCormick Power Mag

                      Here's how I broke it in:
                      1st/6th mag: 8 rounds SXZ (1 FTF, 6th mag{stock mag})
                      2nd/7th mag: 8 rounds Golden Saber (1 FTF, 2nd mag{Power mag})
                      3rd/8th mag: 8 rounds AE (no issues)
                      4th/9th mag: 8 rounds Hydra Shock (no issues)
                      5th mag: 2 rounds each randomly inserted (1 FTF, Golden Saber{Power mag})
                      10th-15th mag: All SXZ (1 FTF 11th mag{stock mag})
                      16th-20th mag: All AE (no issues)
                      21st-30th mag: All Hydra Shocks (no issues)

                      After the last FTF, the gun ran like a scalded cat. Although I noticed that the Power Mags didn't like the Golden Sabers, the gun really took a liking to the Hydra Shocks, which is going to be my choice for EDC.




                      All rounds fired from 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards.
                      Yes, I know I was a tad left, but I'm attributing it to getting used to a single-stack grip, versus the double-stack I'm used to.

                          I really like the look of that gun. Also, wish I could walk in and out the same day with my property.

                              What! in and out of a store with a purchased gun on the same day? Does it mean no background check or was the background check on the spot?
