Frankly, the 1911 45 ACP isn’t the nicest gun to shoot. To shoot it well, you have to manhandle it. It’s a brute, despite its good looks. It’s not for plinking, it’s all business.

As well my wrist knows. I shot it once, a couple of rounds and that was it. My personal side arm is a S&W .40 MP Shield.

The .45 ACP is a smooth slam, not a sharp crack, and the trigger is phenomenal. The 1911 fits the hand perfectly, although you might want to install thinner grips.
