I've joined the 1911 crowd

[jonny4523]

After some suggestive remarks from several shooting buddies, I finally joined the crowd. Took it to the range yesterday and shot very well with it. This is my second handgun chambered in .45acp, the first of which doesn't see nearly the round count this one will. I plan to use this in USPSA single stack play. I burnt through some factory stuff last night pretty quickly. Dies in .45 are already on the way!

You shouldn't share targets though, the other guy was dropping flyers all over the place!

I kid, I kid.

Looks great!

Welcome to the addiction. My TRP is probably one of my favorite 1911s overall.

Hey now, first time shooting it, it took a few to see where it was sighted in at! But hey, at least all but maybe 2 stayed in the Alpha zone!

Welcome to the club. We have cookies and we can actually change our grips without a dremel tool if we do not like the way they feel.

Welcome aboard. The 1911 is, for me, the most natural pointing handgun and just runs great. You'll find it tough to use "lesser" handguns again...

I will have to say, that I went back and forth between this and my XD without having to make any adjustments last night. I had no trouble at all making shots with one after coming off the other. That was one of my concerns that if I use my new TRP in Single Stack, is it going to throw off my Production game. From the results last night, not at all. Actually, using the 1911 in practice and working with the .45ACP recoil, it probably helped me out quite a bit with the lesser 9mm.

You'll love it. The TRP has a great bundle of features, even if the price is a bit high.

I started my Springfield addiction with a GI and then range officer and then a loaded and then another range officer with more options and then a Trophy match and ended (for now) with a TRP. They are all great for what they represent and the TRP is the best of them.
Welcome to the addiction.

Oh, you can shoot other guns and even do fine with them. You just might find you don't enjoy them quite as much any more. Kinda like eating pizza in Italy and then getting home and ordering from Papa Johns. You just don't look at Glo...Papa Johns in the same way any more...

Congrats!! Good shooting!
