A few weeks ago I realized I didnt own any centerfire semi auto's. I already had the gear to reload 45 ACP as I had revolvers and load them by the hundreds if not thousands. Maybe a 1911. Havent owned one in years. Figured I'd pick something up where my wife works . They sell guns and I get a discount. So they had Ruger SR1911's for $649, I got 15% off for being married to my wife and another 10% off for being a veteran. Got the gun under $500 . Can't beat that.
In the last week Ive put 250 or so rounds through it. Hasnt skipped a beat. Havent really tested it for max accuracy 'cause I dont really do that sort of thing but my son and I play a game. We go down into a deep draw where we go shooting. Blow up a ballon or too and let the wing take it up the draw. I usually start blasting away with the SAA's and my son is shooting his buckmark. The SAA's are wonderful guns but I'll admit they are bullet hoses. My son usually pops it out of the air at under 40 yards and I get it 3 out of 10 times. . If it gets beyond 60 yards I pull out the SR1911 and finish the job. Hasnt failed me yet.
