I am basically a shotgun shooter but over the years I've collected 23 pistols and have the opportunity to shoot them everyday off of my back porch. I am not a very good shot and I'm not that knowledgeable about pistols compared to many on this forum. I do reload both 45's and 40's and 99% of what I load are relatively "light", with cast lead bullets.
I sort of collect 1911's, having 9 of them (Colts, Springfield Armorys, Kimber, Remington, Taurus, and Magnum Research). I also have a Para Ordnance LDA 40, which is 1911 style, but DA only. I think they are the most beautifully designed and feel better than any other pistol style, but................
.............I seem to shoot my Glock and FN 40's and even my little S&W M&P and and Ruger 345 45's better than the 1911's. And that Para Ordnance LDA, wow, I really can group them with that gun. I say "seem" because only a real, objectively performed test could really tell if there's a real difference, but it sure seems that way.
Are any of you out there with similar thoughts? I'm rather "surprised" at my own experiences and am wondering if there are other pistol shooters out there who might feel the same?
