New pt1911

[redbrd]

I just picked up a PT1911 yesterday $535 out the door including additional purchase of two CMC mags, cqc holster, and a box of hydroshoks. My gun dealer is good to me. This gun is way more accurate than I am. It keyholes at 15m. I have found it a bit awkward to transition from gock (I have been using a glock at work for along time). I am going to have to work on my presentations and grip. I found a need to ride the saftey with my thumb otherwise I will inaddvertently engage the saftey. But it is a sweet gun. Next purchase reloading setup so that I can shoot more.

Pics to come when I figure that one out.

Sounds like you got a good deal. I think you'll be happy with it. I love mine.
I ride the thumb safety, too. I can't see how it would be a problem.

Keyholes at 15M.....huh You mean you get nice big ragged holes right? keyhole...bad bad bad.

1st - This post is useless without pictures!!!

2nd - Keyhole usually means a tumbling bullet as it strikes the target, dramatically decreasing the bullet accuracy.

Shooting an "8" or kissing bullet holes, clover leaves, "L"s, ragged holes are good things.

Congrats on your PT 1911, you got one heck of a price on it!

Sorry my terminology is not up to par I will have to work on that as well as the pictiure. It has been a good gun so far no failures and its accuraacy is better than I can fully appreciate, so far. I have about 500+ rounds through some reloads.

Congrats on the 1911. I have one too and it is my Conceal Carry Weapon when I am driving long distances.
