I recently picked up one of these little guys - I couldn't resist! A friend showed it to me and.. well, it was just a baby 1911 and I just had to take it home and give it a cookie and wipe its butt.
Anyway, very impressive! I had read that these guns had low recoil because of the locked breech, but it was hard to credit that until I shot it. It's like shooting a .22. I have an AMT in .380 that is about the same size and it's a painful gun to shoot.
I did manage to get the ejector reversed when I broke it down - and using the search here on TFL, found the solution to that problem - thanks! I don't have a manual but ordered one from Colt the other day.
Anyway, I really like this gun. It's pleasant and fun to shoot. Plenty accurate enough to put the hurt on any beer can within 20 yards. Reliable too - I've put about 200 hundred rounds of various types through it without a malfunction.
I will replace the plastic guide rod and trigger, and the gun deserves prettier grips. It's a shooter! It has replaced the AMT as my carry gun and now resides in my jacket pocket stoked with hydra-shocks.
