I recently acquired (and dehorned) a used Gen 3 Model 30 from Summit Gun Broker. It was essentially new with no firing wear at all. It grouped about 2 1/2″ at 25 yards with Tula 230 FMJ and it grouped three, 230 Golden Sabers in just under an inch and a half at that distance, from �lawn chair rest�.

As an old builder of accurate 1911's, I wouldn't call the 30 'match accurate' in the Bullseye sense; but I've wrung this one out at everything from spitting distance to rifle distance and it's got more than enough accuracy for any combat match or carry gun- GlockTalk
