+10 at Jason for his response. He wants more trigger time with his frame/trigger. If practice with your carry gun is important to you, then that's a good reason. Me? I carry three, no make that four 1911's on a regular basis, depending on what I'm wearing, or where I'm going. (NO

.. NOT at the same time! LOL). So trigger feel is a bit different on each, as is sighting, etc. For me, the Buckmark provides the basic skills.
Of course... I reload, so my per shot drops like a stone compared to factory ammo. But 22 is STILL much cheaper!
