Zeroed red dot at 15 yards target was shot st 25yards, red dot aiming point & you can see when I get tired

It’s a fun gun to shoot and more accurate than I am

Finally found one on amazon but it’s a suitcase at 8 handguns

Are there better choices for edc? Yes, many better choices but the feel of the 1911 is like a warm handshake to me. I have only one other 1911, a RIA double stack 9/22tcm. It's close, but not quite the same.
I went with the Ruger largely because of Daniel's experience with it. The amount of ammo he goes through is amazing and his is still performing well after 10 years. I also ordered a tribute holster from simply rugged for it on his recommendation as well as my prior experience with with simply rugged. It's a bit spendy at $170, but I know they build good stuff.
I think I'll start a go fund me page after all that, I've already made a cardboard sign that says "Will work for ammo." It's a little slow, after 3 days I've only gotten 4 22lr cases and a cup of coffee, (without the cup).]]> There's something about the feel of the 1911, nothing says "Hello old friend" like a 1911.

The range says no steel cased ammo (only had 14 mags of “steel” ammo) as they says steel cases = steel bullets so I could only shoot the 32 & 44

I do shoot the 44 mag better for some reason 

All targets were shot at 17 yards……great shotgun pattern with the 32 & the 44 was not much better

It pre-dates model numbers and there's some disagreement so I just spent $100 for a factory letter. One guy offered me $3,000 so I figured I'd better find out what I have.
Not that I want to sell it, it's really a sweet shooter, but I'd like to know.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, 38 special.]]>

My stupid ass inquired about a blue label G43X and none are available and you can’t order one. Currently Glock is only selling blue label G43x’s in bulk to departments and not individuals who qualify 

However, one distributor had a single G43X COA Gen V leftover from a large departments order & offered it to me 

I’m a sucker and said sure why not & hopefully will have it next week 

Glock & Aimpoint designed this together, the slide is milked for the Aimpoint & the aimpoint has a very unique footprint to replace the plates & perceived weak spots 

Now to find a quality holster, I’m thinking leather IWB or possibly a shoulder holster

I told him I’d support getting g rid of the levergun if we replace it with a revolver for deer hunting. A Taurus is under $1k and a Smith or a Ruger is well over $1k. Will the Taurus be Ok? I want 7-9” barrel. Full lug is better. Scope mount dovetails preferred.

Recommendations being accepted. Aaaaaand go!]]>

He'd like to shoot it but couldn't find ammo. Hmmm, the 3 old rounds he had looked like 25acp so I went home and did a quick search. Yep, it's the 25acp.
It was given to him by a widow who's now departed and who knows when it was last fired. It's a strange little pistol to me, what looks like a slide release is the safety and only inserting the magazine releases the slide. I watched a video and stripping it is pretty simple.
I didn't examine it closely but I couldn't see any rifling at the muzzle. A thorough cleaning is on the agenda for Monday as well as using my loupe to look for cracks. I haven't done it for years but I love getting the old ones up and running again.]]> Last night a friend showed me his mauser pistol. He'd like to shoot it but couldn't find ammo.

They came in for trigger work. These 2 had an average 11.5 to 11.75 pound triggers. Which is an improvement over the 12 to 15 pound triggers of the standard J frames. However, after my level 1 trigger job the now have a 9.5 pound trigger. Smooth as glass and with a re-contoured trigger and polished chambers they are ready for action
