been shooting my 1911s for a couple weeks.
« on: October 12, 2020, 11:27:34 PM »
i had a bunch of ammo with conventionally lube sized bullets i wanted to shoot up and reload with pc bullets so ive been exercising my 1911s. Havent shot them much in over 5 years. Seems the 9s and 40s got all the attention. Forgot how much fun a 1911 is. used to shoot more 1911s then all the other guns combined. I shot comp with them and carried one all the time. only thing i dont miss is the pain in the but to strip one down to clean it compared to a glock or M&P

Lloyd,  if you were a little closer I would offer to come over and help burn up those old 45's.  I really love the 1911 ACP. I'm a pretty good gun cleaner too.

Old post I know but it needed bumping up.

Don't neglect those 1911's, I have a couple of loads that I use pc bullets in and they work fine but I need to work on my coating process as they don't look 'pretty' like most peoples do.
