Thanks for all of the questions. Let me get to all of them.
As for the night sights, I think they had to custom mill the slide. The gun was sent to Tooltech Gunsight, Inc in Oxford, Michigan for the installation. Magnum Precision (Shooters World) did the gunsmith work.
I don't know exactly what they did on the trigger and the magazine disconnect, but it's a nice crisp trigger. I just need to get better.
I actually bought this box at Harbor Freight and I want to get a holster, magazine pouches, maybe a cleaning kit, basically make a full load out case for it. It will make for a fun project either way.
Yeah, the grip sleeve isn't the greatest fit. The back at the top doesn't actually stay flat against the gun, but it does increase the purchase.
Thanks for the heads up on the finger jerking. I'm not a great shot to begin with and I do need to get better with the gun.
I was shooting at about 15 feet at an indoor range (C2 Tactical - side rant, I know some people are stupid and bring photos of their Exs to the range in order to shoot them, but banning all outside targets is just annoying. No steel case ammo is a joke as well. I rant about the policies there but I will say this, the sales people and Range Officers have all been very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I just don't like the policies. I was just late in getting to the range on Saturday and couldn't get to the outdoor range at Rio Salado).
I did have some better shooting with the other guns I brought. This is my white whale. $700, and it's in rough condition but I just love the elegant lines.
This is my slightly upgraded GSG 1911 that has some replacement parts. I added the new rosewood U.S. Grips for Christmas and I love the look. The gun drove me nuts with failures to fire (had to pull the trigger back 2-3 times before I got ignition). I also had live rounds jumping through the chamber when extracting the spent casing. What I mean, is that as the spent casing was removed, one round would pop out of the chamber from the magazine and fly in the air, either getting caught by the slide as it returned to battery or drop free. I think that the +4 followers I have that allow more rounds in the magazine without changing the springs is an issue.
I had a great day shooting my Rock Island 1911. Only upgrades are the night sights and VZ G-10 Grips & Skateboard tape on the front. I was very pleased with how well I shot. I know, only 15 feet, but I'm happy :D
