Default Enlightenment

I finally shot the masterpiece that God gifted John Moses Browning with the design of. I LOVE THE 1911! It is the smoothest shooting, and most perfecting feeling handgun I have ever shot. Handsdown. At my local range I rented the only 1911 they had, a Kimber Custom II. I only shot 50 rounds, but they were the greatest 50 rounds to be put through a barrel. My first target was a 7 yards all slow fire, with 3-4 mags at the chest, and 1 mag to the medulla. My second target was at 15 yards, 2-3 mags of slow fire to the chest, and a 7 yard rapid fire to the face.

p.s. It cost me $56 to rent the Kimber, 50 rounds, and 2 targets. WHAT THE F^CK!

JD, we got us another one!

Wait until you shoot a Colt!

There is a reason the 1911 pattern pistol is rapidly approaching 100 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!

It only took me 10 years to shoot one after I first been interested in them.

Is $900 good for a USED Colt Gold Cup.

Thats why I titled the thread "Enlightenment." Now I just have to come across some coin to buy one so I dont pay 56 bucks just to shoot 50 rounds.

Yup, now it's time to figure out which 1911 you want. Enjoy the search.
