What do mean at my age???? Best part of this was the first shot with the new sight was 9 ring at 6 O:clock...changed the elevation a few clicks and left the windage alone...I can hardly wait to try it at 25 yards!

Grips makes a huge difference on a hand piece.   That 1911 comes with 4 mags?   pretty good deal.

They are Pachmayr American Classic composite. Wood and a wrap around rubber insert. The original grips felt a little thin to me, and I wanted something that gave it a little more heft. I have a fairly wide hand, and these fit it better. I did pretty much the same thing with the Judge. Replaced the factory grip with a bit bigger one.....

Wood grips on the 1911? Those look nice. Mine has plain wooden ones without any texture. I've thought about upgrading to VZ Alien grips in some color that resembles wood. I like the feel of G10, but the looks of the wooden ones.

pretty impressive, and nice credentials for the price.   A Kimber would likely be twice as much as you paid, doubtful it would have shot any better.

Just a side note...  nice doily, but shouldn't that picture be taken on a deer hide, or biker jacket, or piece of roughcut oak lumber or something??  But a heart-trimmed doily?  :o  ;D

he's just showing us his soft and mushy side.  :D

A little tuning and a little customizing...since the judge is 99% perfect, I'm working on the 1911....getting there.

Research, again...and 2 months waiting...YES a TAURUS. Here's a "family portrait". Just a little side note. I took it home, field stripped and cleaned it, checked for any assemble problems, and took it to the range. Put 50 rounds through it without any kind of issues and it basically put every shot through the same hole...

Taurus???   I think he wanted to "keep it in the family" maybe.  ;D

Wilson, Kimber?

Yeah, well....but that one was a very basic 1911...this is a top notch version..all forged, not cast parts, hand fitted and numbered slide and frame....ported ejection port, trigger job, ambi safety, polished feed ramp and barrel port, lots of stuff that would cost another $500 on anyone else's version....comes with 2 8 round mags, adjustable low profile 3 dot combat sights, and it shoots 16 through the same hole, even with me running it...Almost as soon as I got home with the Judge, I realized I missed having a 1911 around....did I mention it shoots REALLY WELL?
