Guys,
I was shooting a steel framed Walther, my G19 and my Springfield Ronin 9mm. I was shooting them back to back. Results (best to worst): 1. Slow for groups (Walther/1911/G19), 2. Fast as Hell (just trying to keep them on the steel)(1911, Walther, G19), 3. As fast as I could keep them in the A-zone (1911 (Walther/G19 tied). My lord I sort of forgot how amazing the 1911 is. I will admit I could group slightly better with the Walther, but in terms of speed and speed for accuracy the 1911 was just flat-better. There is something just better about the recoil impulse and sight tracking on the 1911. I know they are old, but they are still amazing.
This probably didn't merit a post, but Lord I love the 1911. I know it has become trendy to sort of dismiss the 1911 as obsolete, but it is hard to dismiss a gun that shoots faster and is more accurately when shot at speed. I guess I need to dust off my Milt Sparks.
