I bought a 1911 about a month and a half ago. She is a Taurus PT1911. Not the highest priced lady on the block but very attractive.
Because of a bunch of factors I hadn't gotten around to trying her out until today. I had always wondered what the big deal was about 1911's. Today opened my eyes.
With the first trigger pull I was immensely surprised. I have been shooting a Glock for a number of years. Comparatively you have to really pull on the Glock trigger to fire. With the 1911, just a VERY light pull and BANG. And I mean a very very very light pull. Can you say hair trigger?
The recoil from that 45 was comparable to the 40 cal Glocks. So I was on target quickly. Ran through two mags with all hits at 25 yards within 8 inches of each other.
Final analysis: The 1911 is ball to shoot. Be very gentle with her and she will light up the range.
