It's Finally Here!

[silverdalesauer]

After waiting for nearly 5 months, my first pistol is finally here.

I spent about 3 months trying to figure out what my first pistol would ever be. I've researched, read a lot of posts on here that other guys have put information on, read the reviews online, went to the Marksmen Pistol Range and tried out a bunch of pistols... and when I held it, shot it, and saw the results I knew it had to be this:

Sweeeeet!  Get to shootn!  That thing looks too new...put some scuffs on it.

Super excited.

Just wish my hunting buddy was home from his deployment to go to the range with me.

Anyone out there with a 1911 .45 ACP that has suggestions on extras that would go nice with this gun? Bullets to use? Laser options? Etc.

1911 has a ton of options.

A pile of 230gr ball/FMJ's and your good to go, any issues with stoves pipping, failure  to feed or failure to eject. Change the factory spring out for a heavier one. Dont freak out and throw it down range. 90% of the time with a 1911 and such issues. It's the spring, there are several guys locally that got smoking deals on 1911's that I had enough of and just about gave them away.

Then one day while resisting the urge to throw my 2nd Para Ordnance GI Expert down range. A friend handed me a heavier spring out of his 1911 and things were all better, it was sunny out, the birds were singing and I no longer wanted to throw my handgun or choke the crap out of a Oprah doll.

They are tough to find, I gave up and bought a Kimber.

If you reload, you can load about 200 rds. for what 50 cost ya in the store... lazer cast bullets are awesome for low velocity target loads...

For carry loads I have always loved Cor bon or Federal ammo...  Always fed well.  Never stove piped.  Was accurate enough at even 15 yds to put 2 in the chest, 1 to the head on bad guy targets.

I seen a show on guns and ammo about these, they look very nice and functional

Agree...get a good holster or two.  A Milt Sparks Versa Max II Holster IWB 1911 is a good choice.  Have to get on a waiting list, but like waiting for that nice 1911 you got, it's worth the wait.  That is unless you want to get it now and pay more off of Ebay.

Yeah, I tried out a couple Kimbers at the pistol range. Oohh, sweet guns! But the price was just too much for this time around. One day, though - definitely will own a Kimber.

thats a good looking piece. What was the cost on it? I currently have the Rugar SR9c and love it, but want something a little bigger (.45)

[birdwacker]

As far as options go, the possibilities are endless darn near. Lazer options are a little harder without a rail but there are still options regardless.  I would go with the crimson trace grips if you want a lazer.
