My first 1911 was a $325 sistema, I broke it in, added a new hammer and grip safety, new wrap around grips, full length guide rod.
I figure its good for a starter gun then I can maybe look at a kimber, Springfield armory, Wilson etc..
Got back into reloading and after trying 3 different loads and made up a few thousand rounds of .45acp that seemed to be accurate enough for practice.
The Sistema shoots ragged one hole groups at 25 yards.
I was busting beer bottles hanging from a tree at 50 yards.
The sistema has had no functioning problems whatsoever.
I cannot justify buying another 1911 type gun and if I did spend the money
it would have to live up to my beater 46 year old surplus 1911
from Argentina.
This gun has ruined it for me and put a kibosh on my grand plans for a
collection of Colt 1911A1 pattern pistols.
