My local shop had a "Fathers Day Sale" going on with the Heritage Rough Rider 22's with rebate so I figured I would go pick one up.
While there I was checking out the 1911's since I was looking at picking up another one. After looking at Springfields, RIA and TISAS they had in the case I saw this Girsan pistol in 9mm. It fit my hand really well and I liked the upgraded trigger, beavertail, and nice safety I looked closer. The action was very smooth and it was nicely balanced so I added it to my order. ($479.99 + tax)
Took both guns to my range last night for a quick test. I took a box of steel case 9mm and a box of brass case with a few HP loads to test function. Also picked up two 10 rd 9mm CM mags to try. Gun ran great with the brass ammo and had no issues with hollow points. I mixed in some of the steel case and got a few hiccups. This ammo looked rough out of the box as you can see from the pics, but I wanted to use it up.
Trigger on this 9mm is very smooth and the weight takes about almost all of the recoil. Very easy to stay on target after each shot. I did notice that spent rounds ejected in many directions and had few hit me in the forehead while most of them went to the right and well behind me. Only had 4 malfunctions and all were with the steel case. No issues with the brass ammo.
This is my first 1911 in 9mm and I do like it. Never looked much at the Turkey made guns, but this is a nice one.
Only comes with the one mag made by Meggar.
Three dot sights
$479.99 which is odd since the online price was $92 more
Steel case ammo
My final group at 7 yards
Picked up a few extra mags 10 rounders, but still fit without handing out.
