I like it, but it’s a little heavy. Ken Hackathorn and Bill Wilson recommend using l200grain or lighter projectiles with the short barrels. I’ve used 215 grain semiwadcutters without problems, but did have issues with 250 grain Underwood ammo and one brand of 230 grain fmj…but i don’t remember which brand.
Just thought i’d throw that in there.

Looking at getting a compact 1911, - TM, 2022-04-11, 14:12
