My wife and a number of wonderful folks online collaborated to get me this for my birthday in June. It required a minor repair; the hammer was following the slide and falling into the safety notch. This is a known issue and was easy to fix. I removed the hammer and carefully redefined the full-cock sear notch. The gun now works properly and has proven very reliable.
I have to reload my own .38 ACP ammo, but the brass is the same as .38 Super so that's not an issue. I fire a fairly mild 115 grain load and it works a treat.
The gun represents an important historical step in the development of the 1911. And it's fun!
