Metro Arms American Classic II 1911

So today was the first time I had actually taken out the 1911 I traded my LC9 for. I must say I am very impressed. This was the first 1911 I had ever shot and I know you either love them or hate them. All I can say is that I LOVE them. Trigger was smooth as butter, recoil was more than bearable, eat every type of ammo I threw at it including JHP. I could not be more please with my decision to trade. Yes, it is more difficult to carry but not impossible with the right holster. I'll throw in the targets I shot for the contest as well. I really want a SR1911 now. Even more than I did before

I rented one at our local range and I was impressed with it. It was comfortable to shoot and accurate. Fortunately I'm not a 1911 guy so I didn't have the urge to buy one, but it was a nice gun.

Great! Glad you like it. I've heard really good things about them and a friend of mine swears by them. IMO it's a very under rated 1911.

Nice shootin', too.

Unfortunately, it sounds like you've contracted 1911 disease.

Be careful, 1911's are addictive with triggers as smooth as a baby's but.

I Had one. I so wish that I hadn't traded it in. Although the GP100 I traded it for does shoot oh so nice too.

+1 except I shot better than normal with a rented Kimber and may trade in my BDM to make one more affordable. Really like the platform and cartridge after that visit.
