It's definitely my heaviest but I don't think it will be a problem.

Made a quick trip to the range this morning. Pistol performed flawlessly, no issues whatsoever. I forgot to talk any HP ammo today so will have to do that next time I go. FMJ ran perfectly. Didn’t try any long shots but between 7 and about 12 yards it’s a great shooter.

This target is 3 10 round mags shot between 7 and 12 yards.

Good combat range shooting....that's all I ask for in a pistol, though still interested in your results when you shoot it further.

Wasn't really planning on it with this gun but I'll give it a shot so to speak. I usually save that for my full size 1911's that I've tuned and my buckmark. Hadn't really intended this to be a bullseye gun.

Sighted or point?

I forgot to take any HP ammo to the range but when I got home I tried to manually cycle some and that turned out to be a real problem. Almost all of them nose dived on the feed ramp. I was going to to to the range later in the week and try some but today decide not to wait and waste a trip to the range.

The feed ramp had a bunch of horizontal tool marks so I polished it today and tried to manually cycle some HP's again and they worked fine.
Still going to make a range trip to verify but at least now I'm more confident that all will be well.

I wish I'd thought to take a pic of the tool marks but just didn't think of it in time.
