PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

More on my new GM

To the question of how it shoots...I think pretty good, this was at 50 feet at our "range"...



comments are welcome...sights are as they came, this was one handed, 230 grain hardball handloads...the little holes are from my .380 mauser...

edit: Went back to the guns shop where I bought it...all they can tell me is the former owner had this gun "accutuned" by someone for comp shooting, then he got transferred to the left coast, and decided to part with it as it's too much hassle in california...my Colt guru thinks it was upgraded by mostly Gold Cup parts...

Hi

Looks like it was fun.

How many mags was that?

Counting hits, my guess is that you shot three or four mags. If so it looks like the sights are set about right for you.

All together I shot about 100rds of 45 acp yesterday, about 200rds of .22 between a Mark I and a single six, 4 mags of .380 and 6 revolver loads of 357...a good day at the range, that target is tie one with the fewest holes by anything else in it...
