Picked up my first Colt product today. A Colt Gunsite 1911, 5" barrel with a beadblasted finish. Can't wait to take her out..  
|
That's a beauty, no doubt.... Do you ever shoot at High Rock? |
I am a member of Ansonia Rod and Gun and live only a few miles from there. I have not shot at High Rock in a few years. I do remember it being packed and having to wait an hours or so to get a lane. I would love to get a chance to shoot with some fellow Arfcom members. |
Sorry to hear about your wait, it's not like that all the time. I went up today and there were 4 people shooting at 2 ports. I shot with a few arf.com member and it was fun. Maybe one day I would meet you up there and shoot that sweet Colt of yours. |
Will do, I will keep in touch...meanwhile enjoy your gem..... |
I like that finish.
The slim grips will be swapped out for a set of regular grips. I think that I will have to replaced the grips, grips screws and grip bushings all at the same time, correct? I will be following up with w range report. |
Wilson, They just don't feel right to me. I have 3 other 1911's and none have the slim grip. Maybe its just that I am not used to them and will grow acustomed to them once I take her out. I will give them a shot and if I like them, they will stay. |
Cool -- just wondering. I'm not bashing, just was curious is all. My other 1911s have full size grips and it might make them a bit easier to shoot, but the slim line grips are heaven for CCW I've found. So much more comfortable. |
