Cowgirl Corner: 1911s not forgotten
While working on the 22s and the red dot setups, today, did dust off one of the 1911s. Figured since I was shooting semi-auto with the little Browning, be a good day to go with another semi-auto. Not my best, not my worst, either, with this very easy to shoot STI 1911. Only negative was loading the mags with cold fingers. Forgot about that part. Something to be said for tubular magazines in cold weather. Easier to do with lever guns, too.

I love both 45s and 1911s.
I just have to get back out on the range again.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Have you tried these? Makes mag loading very easy.

+1 on these magazine loaders, they work great! No more sore fingers when doing some serious shooting.dave77 wrote:Have you tried these? Makes mag loading very easy.

Gotta love the feel and balance of a 1911.

I do ... maybe a little too much. Very easy to go overboard and buy a bunch of 1911s. Trying to hold the line on the four we have, now.Sir Henry wrote:Gotta love the feel and balance of a 1911.

Those work great I have 2 of them. They make one for the AR also and I have one. Can load a 30 round mag in no time. Aldave77 wrote:Have you tried these? Makes mag loading very easy.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Nice to see the response on 1911s. Maybe I should post on them a bit more. Ordering some of those loaders, today.
