whoops, I forgot to post pics of my rock! Once I get a little amateur photo "studio" set up with a diffused light source I'll try to take some nice pictures, until then I'll just post the pics I've already taken:

First field strip (after cleaning with mineral spirits):


After lubing and oiling the finish:


From either my first or second range trip, top group is at 10yds and bottom group is at 7yds (slow, aimed fire), both with factory 230gr FMJs:


I'm still shooting low and left, but I'm slowly overcoming that with dry fire practice. I haven't shot groups from a rest yet but I will do that before I buy an EGW custom bushing for the sake of comparison.

Those are the factory grips, which are quite thick (and one grip is significantly thicker than the other), so I bought some cheap Ergo XTR black hard rubber grips which are a little thinner and have a great texture. They made the pistol 1000X more comfortable to hold/shoot, so for $15 I'm very happy with them.

...I could stare at her for days and not get bored I love my 1911!

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
