[QUOTE="hd_rider13, post: 710377, member: 8030"] I actually had two problems with the 1911 I was shooting. One was the ammo being loaded too light. I think that if I went to a hot 200 gr SWC or even a 230gr, I would have knocked them a little better. The second problem is really ME!! That 1911 is a 1942 USGI 1911A1. I've been working on it for a while to get it running right. This actually was the first time at a range that it ran all day without any malfunctions. Someone shaved the front site a little, so it was always hard to pick up the front sight. I painted the sights last week with a paint pen, and it helped a little, but I'm just not really good with that weapon. I really want to keep that 1911 as original as I can keep it since it is a Rand slide on a Springfield frame. Not really worth a lot since I had to take a nasty nickel finish off of it and re-park it, but I still would rather not mod up a piece of history like that. I just shoot a little better with the 686, but I still was not hitting them where I wanted to. I just need a little (A LOT!!!) more practice. [/QUOTE]
