So I recently picked up a Stainless Raptor Pro II and took it to the range. It ran flawless with the stock Kimber mag. Was pretty accurate and the trigger smoothed up after a few rounds. I shot 200 rounds total:
I have to admit - I've always had a soft spot for the CDP's. Especially the Compact CDP that's a lot like a CCO. It's where I first fell in love with the idea.
So what's everyones opinion on the "chopped" 1911s? I have read people say they aren't reliable but yet read about and have seen others that own them and love them.
Thanks 1L, doing well actually although trying to deal with all the traffic due to the construction on 35 is a freaking nightmare. I look forward to the day I can move further out. Hope all is well with you and your family.
I thought about getting the 9mm version but decided to get the 45. I'm having a hard time getting a 1911 in another caliber other than 45. I will say I have my eye on the Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm.

Some suck. Some don't. My buddy obviously trusted his for his daily carry. I knew a guy that had a Para Warthog. It was not reliable. So my conclusion is it depends on the gun and the ammo.
I was blinded when I saw the words, "Pro Raptor," as I recently acquired a stainless Pro Raptor II from my youngest son and am in the process of breaking it in. I'm not accustomed to having to break in pistols, as I generally shoot Glocks. I like the Pro Raptor II. Hard for me to believe that I spent $900 on such a piece, but I did.
