CMP 1911 Range Report

[DirtyRussianAmmo]

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.

Very cool!

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.

Thanks! So much fun to shoot.

So jealous! I was about 100-200 out from getting one. Come on Trump- restart the program!

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.

Looks great!

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:

Thank you!

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.
