So I took the gun to the range yesterday to see how it would run...
I brought the 8 round Ruger mag and 4 Wilson Combat ETM 8 round mags. For ammo, I had 100 rounds of WWB and 50 rounds of Blazer aluminum case. I forgot the JHP at home , sorry. I'll probably go again this weekend and I give it a whirl then.
Rounds 0-80 (WWB): flawless. I was shooting at 15-20 meters and keeping it in a 6'' pattern while firing at a moderate pace (1 shot every 1-3 seconds). That's acceptable 1911 accuracy for me. I have 1911's that I'm more accurate with (S&W E-series), but I'm guessing the decreased accuracy with this gun was mostly from the trigger. By no means is it a bad trigger, but it does have some play. My guess is that with either more practice or some work on the trigger accuracy will improve.
Rounds 80-96 (8 WWB in Ruger mag, 8 Blazer in Wilson mag): 2 double feeds, 1x magazine. I guessed this may be from shooting dirty WWB and did a quick field cleaning/wipe down with CLP (wiped rails, barrel bushing, feed ramp, barrel throat). I then fired the remaining 54 rounds of WWB and Blazer with 0 issues. So, it was probably just a new dirty gun. I'm guessing with a little more break in, shooting dirty may not be such an issue.
All in all, this a great firearm for the price. No complaints so far from this guy. Now I just need to find some night sights for it.
Does anyone know of a place to get replacement night sights that will fit this gun?
