I was on an Army Combat Pistol Handgun Team about 30 years ago with the 1911A1. We learned to shoot and I stayed in practice. We seldom held the piece up for more than 5 seconds, the exposure was 10 seconds max.
When I qualified for my CCW all 50 rounds were in the 10 ring. The center was blown out. People were impressed.
Heck, I'm impressed!
