That's pretty heady shooting with a handgun of any price class!and the gun shoots 5 shots into one ragged hole at 25yds, if I do my part right.
Factoid for the frugal: Colt is the original 1911. Everything else in 1911-Landia is a clone.I just can't see myself ever paying a lot of money for a Colt or some other expensive 1911.
Browning was the Original. Colt was the first Company to mass-produce it. It's early production was in the Springfield plant. Remington and North American started production not much later.Factoid for the frugal: Colt is the original 1911. Everything else in 1911-Landia is a clone.
Dig deep; don’t go cheap. If you really want something on the 1911-platform, get a basic 5” Colt model.
That way, if the gun malfs and hiccups outta da box, you can dump it for almost what you paid new, because the Colt name retains its value.
Can’t say that about RIAs, Tisas, MIMbers, Sigs, ... or even Springers.

Wrong.Browning was the Original. Colt was the first Company to mass-produce it. * * *
Correctly stated.Colt's are indeed the original 1911's and any others are clones.
John Browning designed the 1911, but Colt was the first manufacturer of the model as Browning sold the patent to Colt. The first production 1911's were made by Colt in 1912.
