Just got home yesterday with a new 1911. I wanted a low cost and serviceable 1911. I wanted a 4 inch barrel in 45 acp. Read up reviews and settled on ATI and as good a deal as I could find. So I went looking at LGS and they had them last winter in 5" but not 4.25. The shorter barrel also had a bobbed hammer and maybe better fixed sights. So I waited and looked some more. I asked again the next trip to town then no ATI at all. I looked at them on gunbroker and wanted to do local if I could.
Last week I went in LGS and didn't see any and asked the guy at the counter.
"Oh I remember you" he said and pulled out 3 different models priced $20 less then last winter. Cool!
So the commander size one went home with me for less than $350 out the door.
So what do I think now?
The trigger is maybe 5 pounds and really useable as is.
Shot it maybe 5 clips full with my reloads and homecast bullets, function so far is 100% and just for grins tried to feed empty cases from the magazine that works too.
Accuracy, can't tell yet, seems good at close range. I will need to get a spotter and attack my 150 yard steel target.
No it is not my CDP ll Kimber with the EGW 3.5# trigger, but sure seems like it was money well spent.
