    CMP 1911 Range Report

    1943 Remington Rand (slide and frame). First 14 rounds @ 7 yards - Armscor 230GR FMJ. What an awesome piece of history. Such a privilege to own.





    Yep, not much to like here... just a tired old mixmaster rattletrap that I was crazy to pay $1,050 for.

        I forgot to add, it ran without a hiccup -- and wasn't picky about magazines. I used the one CMP supplied and then a couple Springfield mags. I put about 50 rounds through it.

          But you're not even supposed to be able to hit the side of a barn with them old worn out rattle traps!

          Congrats on a nice one.

                Hang in... hopefully we'll hear about the next shipment sooner rather than later.

                  I had similar results Ithaca frame/RR slide. It was a bit left and I decided to drift the rear sight slightly for the next outing.

                    The frame and slide finish looks greyish not blueish in the photos. Interesting, in a cool way, if that is the actual color.
                    I have several mil surp rifles but sadly no pistols - yet.

There's no possible way that CGN members marching alongside the Pink Pistols in the SF Pride Parade can do anything to dispel the stereotype that gun owners are conservative bigots clinging to their guns and bibles. Not a single person in the crowd is rational or reachable because the parade's for gay folks and it's in SF.

                        When I received the pistol it was bone dry and very gray-looking. After being cleaned and oiled the parkerizing took on a nice greenish hue. Here's another pic that is closer to the correct color:

                            I'm going to take it to the range again and, if I get the same results, I will probably drift the rear sight too.
