I bought my metro for $312 used at my local firearms store. I had never heard of metro until I purchased this one. My very first time out with her,I was firing federal 230gr fmj ball ammo,and the sights were off and it spit powder back at me and split the casings in the chamber. I thought my piece was defective and thought the worst for my very first 1911. I set the sights using my Allen wrench and switched to perfecta 230gr. Fmj ball ammo and she was flawless! 100 rounds in a row non stop and fired like a beast,I wouldt trade her for any other 1911. I found my wood grips to be too thick,and I know this will sound strange,but I switched my grips for a set from an airsoft 1911 style plastic gun and they fit perfectly,and my hogue rubber grip incerts improve the total weapon purchase in my hands. I have found that colt government model mags fit also,only 7 rounds as opposed to the metro 8 rounders,alse pretty much ANY other government model 1911 parts will function as well. Finally got a box of winchester pdx1 ammo and waiting for a chance to send a few down range. I have been doing quick draws and mag drills to get a good draw and mag switch at an incredible rate. But all in all,I love my metro. And my number is A00354.
