Mine liked the GS 185's as well.. All my 3" 1911's did actually.. If I remember correctly, mine required covering the target with the sights spot on. It took me some time to learn to shoot the 3" pistols and then it was difficult to go back to the longer 1911's. I eventually learned as the 3" was so short, I couldn't feel a deflection in angle (or tilt) like I could with the longer pistols. A locking the wrist issue I believe. Certainly a different feel to shooting them.. Ron

Ron ... I agree, it is different. I am now able to shoot pretty good groups with the gun. I couldn't say that after the first couple of magazines. It has grown on me.

If I fully cover the target with the front sight using the GS 185s then it is close to right on ... certainly good enough. I will only carry those rounds as they are both accurate and easy to shoot because of the reduced bullet weight.

Best,

Mike
