That looks pretty good. Are you happy with it so far?
Obviously haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but yep, very happy. Well worth the $1050 (plus CBI and transfer fees).
Nice pistol. Thanks for the pics!
: )
My number is coming up soon. Part of me hopes they have some field grades. I’ve always like the field grades of their M1s and the 1911 have looked decent.
They seem to usually have field grades but sporadic selection on service grades. Reading their forums, it looked like members who got the call a week before and a week after me only got offered field or rack grade so I'm pretty happy with their service (but then, I always have been). Honestly, the pics people have been sharing of the field grades got me thinking I should have ordered one of those and saved $100 but I think you'll be happy with it no matter what.
Still don't know what my RGN was but if they used it for the order number, mine was in the very high 6000s.
Wow, AS, that's a nice gun! Very happy for you! Thanks for posting the pics.
Finally had time for a test firing. Nice tight lockup, ate every magazine I fed it without complaint. The pistol is more accurate than the shooter (although it has been a couple years since I went shooting handguns, the results -- especially the first couple of targets -- were an example of why I tell new shooters that we have to practice regularly).
Two targets from yesterday:

For comparison, test shots from my Les Baer TRS (also yesterday):

No complaints from me.
Sweet!
So I got my 1911A1 this week. I like it. Remington rand slide and frame. Even says US Army on the frame :) Shoots real nice. My only “complaint” is the mag kind of sucks, but I can find USGI mags for about $12 at the shows.
