Range report 1911 Springfield Loaded Target 9mm

[starbury33]

I finally got this beauty about a week ago:

It's the 1911 Springfield Loaded Target in 9mm. I took it to the range this morning and it looks like I'm / the gun is shooting low. This is from about 10 yards.

The smaller rounds came from Ruger Mark 3 (22lr) at around the same distance. The 1911 does have have an adjustable sight so I'm tempted to tweak it. I'm aiming at center of mass with both guns. Is this me or the gun?

Springfield 1911 9mm

I say its the Gun
I have a Springfield loaded in 9mm also but mine has the low profile combat sights on it and it is not very accurate either
I put a Briley Bushing on it and it did improve it but still not the best in the world
I think Rhino had one also ( Springer 1911 9mm ) and I recall Him telling me that He had some work done on his as well

Unless you're confident of your marksmanship skills, I'd have someone else (whose skills you do trust) fire it to confirm the point of impact. If it still shoots to the same point of aim, adjust the sights. Even if you do move them now, it's not a big deal. You can always move them back. It's not like you're going to be filing the front sight down!


If and when you decide to sell the gun (you too, Bshaw!), let us know.
