Wow, it's been a long time since I updated this thread.

2 months ago I decided to ditch my CZ for a Dan Wesson PM-9 1911. It was my last SSE of 2014 and it's definitely quite a good one. The owner of the range noticed how serious I was about shooting well and decided to teach me himself at no charge. He also convinced me to switch to 1911's as it's the true shooters handgun as it's got the best trigger, ergos, and balance. He also gave my DW and amazing trigger job. I think Anax will be blown away by how good it is when I get the chance to let him dry fire it! Within a month, I was shooting 1" groups at 7 yards, 2.5" groups at 15 yards, and 4" groups at 25 yards. hmmm it's time to shoot 45acp!



Had a gripe about the shape of the Dan Wesson around the beavertail and thumb safety. Ended up getting a Sig 1911 Stainless because you get a lot for the price even though the gun is butt ugly. The eyes say no, but the hands say yes. Been talking to Anax about this issue for awhile but I can finally show it with a picture.



Dan Wesson on the left; Sig on the right. Red markings show how the Dan Wesson is flatter which conforms less to the V of the hand.

Anyway, I had a trigger job done on the Sig too. Not quite as light as the Dan Wesson, but still very crisp. I shot my all time best groups ever yesterday with a dime sized hole at 7 yards ONE HANDED, then shot a 3" group from 25 yards with both hands.

I'm going to leave this entertaining read here:

I got skinny girl hands so the high grip cut makes the edge sharp. I think the thumb safety could have a but more work done on it to alleviate it. I've actually been thinking of selling it to fund a sporting clays shotgun but it's still such a sweet shooting and looking gun.

I think you need a medium length trigger. Medium is perfect for me and our hands are similar size. This is so important for comfort! Can't shoot correctly if anything distracts you from focusing on the front sight!

Any benefit in having a flat spring over round?

I'm an AR-15 shooter, thanks to my father raising me as such. As far as I can see, this B-ATF&E consideration is them just doing their job for their boss. M855 will probably not get the ban treatment because it doesn't fit the statutory requirements/definition of ban-worthy. Also, the news at first was reporting this ammo being used in a handgun. Anybody know of a handgun that can shoot .223 and actually look like a handgun and be wielded like a handgun?

Nope, not a one. That's why it was obviously a political shot-in-the dark by their "boss" at 1600 Penn Ave. Disregard the fact that a steel tip is NOT the same as a steel core, and "hunting purposes" is irrelevant to anything. Plus the absence of any FBI statistical data to support of any of their claims about this 'scary' ammo. Which btw is a NATO round approved by the Geneva Convention. 

I love all the clear, deliberate and educated logical responses to the ATF (many by law enforcement whom the administration was trying to paint as on their side  ). The proposed ban is dead because of the responses on the thread I linked. 60,000+ comments and 52 Senators actively opposing this BS idea. Shows you the sneaky lengths and out of control govt. run by a authoritarian executive will go to circumvent the rights of it's citizens.
