Default Ruger SR1911 CMD 9mm (Part II)

I got to take this Commander to the range again today. I swapped the rubber grips for a set of Goncalo Alves grips since the last range trip. I think it looks better, but the truth is the black rubber ones were probably better. At least they provided a firmer grip. No problem with 9mm, but it might be on a .45.





I shot another 50 rounds through it today. This time I shot factory Remington 115 gr. FMJ ammo. (Also shot 50 rounds thru another 9mm, but that's for a later time.) As expected, the gun functioned flawlessly. The trigger is nice, but it's a 1911 - what else would you expect?

I shot one 50 round group at 7 yards. I fired these rounds as fast as I could recover from recoil and get back on target. Aside from one boo boo, the group turned out pretty good. I guess old habits are hard to change. I can shoot polymer guns as accurately, but not as fast and still be accurate. I guess you can tell I'm pretty fond of this little Ruger.

Dang rman, you shoot that one pretty good also. Nice lookin pistol to. As for the grips, go with what works best over what looks purty.
