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.

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.

I own a 1911 with combat sights. I can be fired accurately and excels as a weapon that puts heads down. Don’t be timid with it. Don’t let it push you around. It needs a firm base for auto loading to happen without jamming. Don’t use cheap ammo. Enjoy.
