and I repeat - what good is that going to do me? I see no reason to go to a range when I get free range time whenever I want it. I can hit my target, my gun hasn’t had any problems with myriad of ammo. I point, I click, I generally hit what I’m aiming at. Unless I spend a boatload of money trying out all sorts of things until I find something I like or think I like better than what I already have, I really see no use. I could take courses, but money is an issue there also - besides my father was a marksman and I tend to do better than him now since he gets the same amount of range time as me. My real problem there is that he’s old school and doesn’t know the first thing about ACPs, and he’s never around. It would be nice for someone to pop in with some simple advice of “hey, buy this book, or go check out this web site”, but I guess I didn’t frame my statements properly. I did get one good upthread response about 1911s though...
My mistake. I thought you were serious about learning and using a 1911 before buying one.
The suggestion to get to a range ASAP is so you can chew the fat with guys who know poop loads about guns and such. It is LOADS of fun to be with like thinkers. Trust me on this.
PS + you may have the opportunity to pick up spent brass...
