I did and i am in love, today i picked up a sa mc operator nib. i am so stoaked, this is a sweet pistol everything about it is nice. this pistol has been on my dream gun list for a long time and i finally got it. this model had the package deal the holster and the mag carrier i will not use the holster but the mag carriers are ok and i will use that for the time being.

fit and finish: i thought these things looked great online but they are a whole other story in person. the color is awesome, the green and black and the pacmeyer grips are amazing. they are thin but not to much, they are the perfect size. the finish is even and well applied. it is the armory kote which i highly regard my xd service is finished in it. the rail is well doen and precise there isn't a single flaw in the workmanship and overall look at all. the slide and frame fit are tight, but move smoothly.

trigger: i don't have a scale and i am not good at judging weight but this is a nice crisp trigger. i like it alot and was suprised how nice it was. just as good as any of the stock kimbers i have shot.

accuracy: this thing outshoots me, but i think with a little bit of work me and this pistol are gonna be hard to handle. there were many one hole groups at 10 and 15yds strong hand only off hand any way i did it the rds went where i wanted them. again impressed. i have some pics of the targets to share when i up load em.

i only had 150rds with me of remington umc 230gr fmj, and the gun and the original 2 7rd factory mags worked flawlessly.

the gun also came with the loaded coupon so i wil be stocking up on sa factroy mags and i am also very excited about that, as i will need many mags and lots of ammo.

i will have pics asap, and more info if needed for you guys and i will be sure to keep ya'll up to date over time with the guns performance and such. this is a priliminary report and wanted to post it asap. thanks!
 
Sweet gun(of course we need pics:neener:).

The only thing I wish the SA would change is to checker the front strap 30LPI, instead of using the crappy grips.

Otherwise it is one of the few railed 1911's that I like.

Im sorry but I just crack up when I read this. I try not to have the gun out shoot me when I go shooting.
Congrats on the new pistol sounds like you are going to enjoy your time together.
 
...there were many one hole groups at 10 and 15yds...
No, no, no... it's only a group when you put more than a single bullet through the hole, dude ;)

Raggin' on ya - nice purchase, now hurry up and post pics for we addicts :D

here is a target at 15yds on the top bundle of rds there is 14rds a few flyers but thats alright. on the bottom group that is 28rds. groups consisted of rapid fire double taps, reflexive fire, push out, what ever i did the rds went where i wanted them.

btw the night sights are nice and bright, i was able to see them very well once i got home and the sun went down i am very happy and couldn't be more pleased.
 
Wow, very nice looking gun i like that OD (or don't they all it armory kote or something?). Nice shooting to, thanks for sharing.
yeah it is all armory kote just the frame is green and the slide is black, i think it makes it look great. thanks
 
Nice gun, and great shooting! I bought 10 mags with my loaded coupon, cant beat the price, and they work.:)
 
Only thing I don't like is that the Pachmyer grips don't cover the safety plunger tube.
I'd be happier without the rail and front side searations.

sweet. then maybe the mc operator isn't the 1911 for you.
 
Any 1911 that fancies itself a "combat piece" should have the plunger tube covered by the left side grip to eliminate a failure mode.

Issues of style don't bother me at all, to each his own, but the rail cuts down your holster options considererably, even more so if you hang anything off it.
