While browsing thru LGS today, one of guys there said he had a couple of trade-ins that might interest me - one was an ATI 1911 Military. Not something I was looking for (or needed...lol) but I've heard a good amount of positives about them. For $399, figured I couldn't go wrong. Other than some normal signs of firing on barrel, remainder is like new with no scuffs or scratches. The only thing not original are the grips which are Para-Ord checkered wood. Anyhow, be it a good or a so-so deal, it followed me home. Now, I can give leave the Kimber to slumber in the safe while I put the wear on this one while out on the range.

My EDC is an ATI GI Series Commander. Other than using CMC Shooting Stars, it is completely stock. I shot 250 break in rounds of various makes and types. I had 1 failure to fire (Remmy UMC, everybody makes a dog now and then) and zero feed, extraction or ejection issues. I know 250 is not a huge amount, but hey, ammo is expensive now. Great value in a 1911.
If I do anything to it, it will be Novack style sights. |
