Lordy I love the 1911
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.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
