Time for a new 1911

[Madman]

I don't care for the grips, but that is what I had. I think I am going to get a set of Shark Skins by KenSight.

Only question now is what kind of groups will it shoot? It should shoot sub inch at 25 yards.

It’s getting there. This one likes little slower (< 800 FPS). They start spreading out above that. This was at a FULL 25 yards with hands rested.
2- 5 shot groups

The 7 shots at the top were 1-3/8”. The other 3 pushed It out to 2-1/4”.
It still shoots better than I can.. going to try a few more loads.

It is always a good day for a new 1911

Turned out nice. You do good work.

Thanks. I would starve to death if I tried to make a living at it. Took about 100 hours.

Just curious. Any reason you didn't go with a ramped barrel? I feel they feed better.

I built a 6" 45 for my brother and we went with the ramped barrel. Also converted his Auto Ordnance 10mm to ramped (of course it is far more important in a higher pressure cartridge).

I would also starve if I tried to make a living at it.

I have never had a failure to feed due to the pistol. My pistols shoot RN, HP, WC, everything.

A failure to feed is usually caused improper shooting or magazine problems.
