Default Specialist Range Report

I finally got a little time to hit the range and shoot her. 50 rounds that is. Like I said-not a lot of time lol. And I really hated that as I wanted more time for our first time together. At any rate, what can I say? She was a smashing success! Just an absolute beautiful pistol that functioned flawlessly and drove tacs. cant ask for much more imo. I did have to get a little used to the DW straight 8 sights. I like them too. At any rate heres a couple target pics. The first pic is the very first 8 rounds I put through her. You can tell I was trying to get the feel of the sights. The second pic is the next 8 round mag I put through her. Both were shot at 21 feet.

While perusing in the shop itself I noticed they had an Ed Brown Classic Custom to the tune of $4,750.00 It was a beauty to say the least. But fellas, if im going to be honest I have to say that I liked my Specialist better. Both in the hand feel and looks. Call me crazy but, it is what it is. For me anyways
And that's not to say I wont have an Ed Brown. I love the Kobra Carry they have and someday plan on having one. But, as for now DW rules the day. I cant get over what a nice pistol this is. Especially so for the money. Just incredible really.

This being such a nice gun I was worried about field stripping her. Just knew I

would make an idiot scratch. The first time was a little tough but, thereafter its

been a piece of cake. I like being confident in what im doing and, Im really enjoying

being in the 1911 world. A lot of history and a lot of good stuff to learn.

VERY Nice! 1911's are very addictive! No known cure either
