Colt XSE to the range!

[Rogervzv]

Took one of my new Colt XSE 1911s to the range today and put 250 rounds through it. This gun is completely stock excepting for Tritium sights added, and a Crimson Trace lasergrip. Say what you want, but Colt really knows how to build a 1911. The gun functioned 100% with cheap range remanufactured ammo. I used Colt, Chip McCormick, Checkmate, and Ruger magazines, including 1 CMC 10 rounder. Accuracy was good but not great probably due to my overcaffeinated state. Lots of bull's-eye shots, but a fair number of flyers too.

Really enjoyed the Colt XSE. Thank goodness I bought two of them before they became unavailable (new) in Democrat-occupied California.

I have the same pistol in stainless. It's a well-built and utterly reliable firearm. Colt knows how to build them, and considering the prices today (lower than when I got mine 5 years ago) they should be at the top of anyone's list for a mid-priced factory-made 1911. The only real critique I have at all it the somewhat sloppy fit of the aluminum trigger.
