WidowsSon683 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I do believe this will be my next purchase for a carry gun. I like to fit of it and the price is just right. I have not shot one yet so my question is... How does it shoot and what are your thoughts on the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It has good balance and it shoots well but it is one heavy son-of-a-gun. With so many other lighter and higher capacity pistols available, this model is not at the top of my list of choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowsSon683 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I know its heavy. ITS A 1911! Thats one of the good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplesinglestack Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I acquired one this past weekend, I like it. has some sharp edges, but overall I think it's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I also have Ruger SR1911 CMD and have been very happy with it. My gun was assembled correctly and has worked fine through its 1st 1k rounds. Only thing that I replaced was the factory recoil spring to an 18 # spring. I think this gun is on par w/ Kimber and Springfield but offers a better value. It'll clean up really well for custom work or be be just fine in stock form. The only big issue that I've read were the front sights cracking off.

MadMadWorld Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have one and love it. Shoots well, easy to carry with a good holster, price and fit is good. I did have some after market night sights added, TruGlo I think, and just cleaned up everything inside. I have not shot a competition with it, however, I would feel comfortable shooting it in CDP in that IDPA thing and as a back up for USPSA, it is really hit the fan.

WidowsSon683 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hey thanks everybody for the reviews. I am going to get one in the next week or 2. The only problem is I dont know what kinda holster to get that will be comfortable everyday. It has to be IWB just because my shirt might not always be long enough to cover the muzzle OWB. Mad i sent you a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakobi Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I tried a Galco Summer Comfort once. Didn't like it. I know other guys that like them. Plenty of other good brands of holsters out there. Picking a material type may help narrow the seach, too. Ultimately this will boil down to your preferences as everyone is different. That and buying one and trying it out. -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGabe Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I picked one up a few weeks ago. Runs fine. It's a keeper for awhile, at least till I find something else to take my fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank34 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very good value for the price. Look into a Milt Sparks summer special IWB holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowsSon683 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I was thinking more of a crossbreed style holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplesinglestack Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I recently purchased an Aliengear or Alien ware something along those lines to try out since it was only $30 I like it, alot, I own the Crossbreed, as well as a Galco King tuk, and I feel like it is on par comfort wise, but seems like I normally end up carrying a plastic gun in the crossbreed, as it is the most comfortable, but I am trying to like carrying the heavy gun.

exmr2sw Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 +1 for Milt Sparks! Ive got the VM2. As I say, "buy once, cry once" worth it at 2X the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
