Now I Know

I bought a 1911 about a month and a half ago. She is a Taurus PT1911. Not the highest priced lady on the block but very attractive.

Because of a bunch of factors I hadn't gotten around to trying her out until today. I had always wondered what the big deal was about 1911's. Today opened my eyes.

With the first trigger pull I was immensely surprised. I have been shooting a Glock for a number of years. Comparatively you have to really pull on the Glock trigger to fire. With the 1911, just a VERY light pull and BANG. And I mean a very very very light pull. Can you say hair trigger?

The recoil from that 45 was comparable to the 40 cal Glocks. So I was on target quickly. Ran through two mags with all hits at 25 yards within 8 inches of each other.

Final analysis: The 1911 is ball to shoot. Be very gentle with her and she will light up the range.

You're HOOKED!! 3 or 4 more and you will need some counseling.

Can't wait to get my 1911 back.

There are many reasons why the 1911 is still relevant today. Glad you enjoyed firing her!

Thanks for the comments. Now I am beginning to wonder if these will multiply like Mosins.

Good for you. It's hard to beat a good 1911; enjoy your pistol.

Purple not necessary. They will, if the pocketbook allows

Enjoy old Slabsides. Wish I still had mine. Some day....

I know the feeling it's hard to put in words the feeling when you pull the trigger makes me want to go to the range

Just curious, why is a handgun referred to as lady, she, or her? I had no idea that there was gender involved.

they are female cause we love them, need care, and are beautiful.

@printcraft - I lol'ed pretty good. Thanks for that.

"I loved how he felt in my hands" = awkward.

Mystery solved.

Selective editing... Just like main stream media. You can't say you didn't say it .

LOL. Another forum I frequent has a joke thread called "No Context" that is made up of chopped out quotes just like that.

Seems like that's a pretty funny premise for a thread.............














Steals idea...

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

That awkward quote did make me LOL. Thanks for that. To the OP, congratulations. There ARE tons of variants to try, but do try to control yourself. Next thing you know, you'll be trying to work your way up through a competition with something the cost of a small car in your hands...

Hooked and with Taurus version no less... You'd really be amazed with Remington 1911r1 or any custom.

I bought a Colt Gold Cup awhile back. She is a shooter and in the hands of someone with better eyes than me she is very accurate.

1911A1 - Once bitten always smitten...and yes they have a tendency to multiply like rabbits!

Congrats on your new 'girlfriend'.
