Shot my first 1911 today

[GD2A]

My Pleasure! What Charlie didn't mention is that he was introducing me to my new Colt 6920 as well

The good buddy that he is, he came by my house the other day to walk me through the bells & whistles of an AR (he's built a couple) and get me squared away on the main components and basic functions. Today we met at the range and it's a good thing I had him look over my BCG prior to firing it because what I though was sufficient lubrication was, in fact, not!

The rifle ran flawlessly on a lightening shortened range session but now that I'm squared away on it, I cannot wait to get back out there a put a few hundred rounds down range!

You've taken your first step into a larger world.

You got that thing dialed in for sure at 25 yards. Would have been nice to finish up the 100 yard shooting but Mother Nature had other ideas. They may not all have hit paper but i sure wouldn't want to be the bad guy on the receiving end!

100 yards with iron sights is quite a shot in my book. 50 yards with iron sights is about my max. After that I need some magnification. I found a pic of the 6920 with the old Colt hand guard and stock. I think they are exclusively MOE now. It looks like the same stock I have on mine that I showed you. I will try to post the pic but I am out and about an using the iPad so it isn't so easy to pop the pic up here.

Let's see if the pic works.


Edit- didn't work. I will try later.

It's nice of your son to let you borrow HIS ipad

Well done on both your sides. Welcome to the addiction.

My buddy just called me asking if I wanted to buy some of his guns, Will it ever stop?
