This sport is addicting!
having only been shooting pistols now for the past several months I've purchased yet another gun. First was a Ruger SR45 which Ive enjoyed shooting, 2nd a Kahr CM45 for concealed.......and just this week purchased an ATI FX1911 45. I was looking for an entry level 1911 that would hopefully be dependable, have the look I wanted and been fun to shoot.
The ATI came with a one factory mag, then I purchased 3 more on eBay - no name brands from what I can tell. One has 45 ACP stamped on the bottom, the other 2 blank.
The ATI came in a box, wrapped in plastic. I committed to break it down entirely, frame and all, to give it a good cleaning before shooting. I'm a newbie, first 1911 and pretty new to shooting/cleaning but it didn't go to bad. YouTube helps! You can seemingly find anything on there.
Went to the range today with a box of 100 being limited on time. Taking the CCW class next weekend I thought I would split half and half between my Kahr to practice for concealed and then the ATI. Had so much fun shooting the ATI I only put it down to reload mags. No issues - it felt great to shoot and was accurate. Really, really pleased with the feel and performance, and, to me, it has a very nice look to it. Paid $372 for it out the door from my local dealer.
Here are some pics. I'm thinking of personalizing it with some custom grips but I really like the look as is too. Tried posting pics but the ones on my phone exceed memory size to load here. Will try to correct and add some later
