Got this one today .......... never really paid much attention to them before. Mine is the Gov't Model, plain basic 1911 A-1, with flat mainspring housing.
I read someone else's review in which he said it MIGHT be a good plinker.
I've never shot one of these before today, yet my very first shot with it centered the "X" of the X ring of a B-27 target at 21 feet. Yes, I have witnesses. Groups were in the 2" region, despite the gun's frankly pretty heavy trigger at this time. At 25 yards I put 10 of 12 in half of the B-27's head (zombie practice). 2 fliers I attribute to my impatience with the heavy trigger pull.
Oh well, no one is perfect.
Hopefully the trigger will lighten up as it breaks in, or I know some good gunsmiths around here.
Overall opinion ------- "MIGHT be a plinker"?? I'll be happy to use mine for headshots on squirrels.
