After work delight with Ruger 1911.
After doing some clearing for a new target storage shed it was time to plink with the Cmd 1911 45. Location was that little board walk over Ricochet Creek...really a runoff ditch nature created and the large gong. Had not shot it in a while and it ran perfectly.

I think the 1911 is the perfect pistol design. Good to see you out plinking although with a 45ACP is more Plinking with a capital P.

Was going to bring along the Henry 22 Pumper too but since I always carry a good caliber side arm down there fiqured I would give him some excersise.
If more time will bring Pumper next trip. Ammo was my 230gr. hardball over 6.0 Unique.

That is a pretty pistol. I was thinking plinking with a .45 is actually Plunking!
Load on Sunday and Shoot all Week.......okay it's a Mare's Leg I will reload on Wednesday.

Re: After work delight with Ruger 1911.
It RAN perfectly, but how does it shoot. Are the Ruger 1911s pretty accurate, compared to the Kimber, Springfield, and Colt 1911s? Just asking.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Well I think it shoots well as well as I can keep it on target. I had to dig thru my target plate collection and found one. My first couple shots wandered a bit!BrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 2:21 pmIt RAN perfectly, but how does it shoot.

Re: After work delight with Ruger 1911.
I have had the 230 gr. XTP load group better and run those with 6.5 Unique with nice full expansion and 14-16 inch pentration.
Think these shots were the 230 XTP
