Got it out on the range today, pretty damn slick. I have an HK VP9 and have always really enjoyed it but this thing makes it feel rough by comparison. Very pleasant recoil impulse and sights come right back on target extremely quick. Superb trigger & sights, too.
Here's 17 rounds of WWB 124's at 10 yards standing unsuported. I tried 10 rounds of Hornady Critical Defense after this and the group was a little over half as big as this one.
Talk about recoil ! Better use both handsMy custom .500 Smith and Wesson Magnum carry gun shown next to my 1911 for comparison. I built both.
That's a fantastic looking classic.
2013 PPK/S 380 Auto EDC
2018 22lr plinking ppk/s
Post recall P320 9mm full (have xchange kit for compact)
Walther Q5 Match (looking to sell to get a SF Q5)
50AE Desert Eagle (backpacking in bear country gun)
Recently found a Chiappa Rhino Nebula 60DS as a range toy, going to grab a 40DS for backpacking as it is such a smooth shooter.
Wife has a P365 she just got last week and I haven't been able to snag a pic yet.

Guys, here is a 1911 build I just finished. Caspian had a 25% off sale on their Damascus slides last December and I ordered one with Bomar cuts. I received this slide July 2nd, and started building it right away using a Caspian receiver and a .45 ACP Kart supported barrel.
I plan on using this pistol in IDPA and Steel Challenge competition at my local club. To stay IDPA legal for CDP rules, I could not install an extended mag release, so I got a legal one from Wilson.

1990s Gen 1 Kimber I bought new, with 50th Anniversary Milt Sparks IWB Summer Special.
Believe it or not, it actually had nice bluing at one time.

Late 1950s Ruger Flattop .44 mag with 7.5" barrel. One of only 1,000 (IIRC) made before the Super B Hawks arrived.
When my oldest kiddo was 11 she received a matching pair of .45 Colt Ruger Montados for mounted cowboy action shooting. They were then slicked up for her.
Needles to say she was the coolest kid in the neighborhood!
Fast forward a few years and she is rocking the .45s in competion.

What kind of ammo do they shoot in comps?
The rules that I've browsed said black powder. Large enough grains that they will reach the balloons. Some thin wad or patch to keep it in the case.
It is a very coarse black powder that burns in a conical pattern. The burning powder is what breaks the balloon rather than a projectile. The cartridges are crimped like a shotgun shell. They are designed to fully burn out and not be dangerous at extended ranges. However you could potentially kill or injure a horse pretty easily not to mention yourself with careless handling.
We started the oldest daughter off at an early age shooting .45s and she has done well.
Here are a couple shots from Montana last year:
Custom 5" Model 29-2 .44 magnum that was an 8 & 3/8ths" barrel previously.
Covers game large and small with proper ammo selection:

If the right team doesn’t win this election in 4 days, I can pretty much kiss this goodbye, or die fighting to keep it.
It’s my only one currently, but I really enjoy shooting it.

This is a photo that I took for an on-line digital photo contest several years ago. I'll let you guess the title.
1911s &Flowers? No wait. How about; Flowers and Colts? No that can’t be it.
Could it be; Forty-five Flowers? Pollinated Pistols?
Roses are Red but Stainless is Better Than Blued?
Pistols and Petals?
Oh heck! I don’t care what the title is. It’s a darn good photo! Nice work!

1961 K series Colt Frontier Scout(22LR)Buntline Scout(22Mag). Unfired new in box like they shipped in 61. 
All steel P-01, manual safety, all Cajunized but with night sights as a daily carry.
Bought both new when they came out.
Ruger P85, handgun and backup bludgeoning device.
Doubles as a hammer or wheel chock in SHTF situations.
One sat in a box and hid from the world for 30+ years.
The other went to and from work, went camping, out shooting,
and even on me every time I crashed a motorcycle, three wheeler or quad.
Can you tell which is which?
I'm just posting my old M&P .45 compact, but now my new favorite with it's trijicon RMR sight and it's so much easier to hit with!
The dot is 3.25 MOA in size and redder that it appears in the photo.
