    buy the calibre you can shoot. Dont let anyone tell you that one or the other is Gods gift to the gun community.

    And i never really found out why, but one course i took last year the instructor (and the high level students) all poo pood the USP and called it a "boat anchor". Instructor was randy cain, feel free to google him and see if you want to take his advice on the USP.

    Its soo difficult to get good gun advice. You sure as hell cant read gun forums and make a decision from those, and u sure as hell cant read a magazine and make a decision from that. I have come to listen ONLY to those who know what they are doing (high end 1911 smiths and highend instructors. Sounds kinda snoty, but really its the only people who see guns in a harsh environment for a living. Just something for ur brain to chew on.
    "The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."

    I know this already. That pistol just felt really nice in my hand. My only complaint would be the size of the trigger guard. It really was too big.


    I'll try to post up a couple pics tomorrow morning, but I went shooting today and I realized I REALLY suck with my left hand. Even at 20ft I couldnt get a decent group to save my life.
