I use this one for NRA bullseye...25yd shortcourse. A fine shooter and very competitive, with some tweaking from the Colt Custom Shop. A Gold Cup doing what it was designed to do. ![[Linked Image]](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii27/RobertOIF2/DSC_0879_zpsf3e35b5d.jpg) Great looking piece, RGK. Nice shooter, too; I see you changed the rear sight for good measure........good move. MM

Can you tell any difference in how it shoots between the two guide rods? Are you expecting a difference in shooting? I've made the change on almost every 1911 that I've ever owned if I plan to shoot it much (and have to clean it). Ease of disassembly is the reason for the change; has nothing to do with how it shoots & I've never seen even a smidgen of difference.  MM Exactly this. Swap out had nothing to do with shooting, and everything to do with not needing to have an allen wrench to break it down and field strip it. It shoots no better and no worse, either way. Actually the SA 2-pc rod that requires the allen wrench is one of the easier ones on the fingers to take apart, other than the need for having the allen wrench available. The solid one piece rod like the Kimbers are a real PIA as the open spring plug is just hard on the fingers, even if you use a bushing wrench. Just not necessary..........but lots of people seem to believe that the one piece guide rod bring something to the party. MM

STI Ranger II. I have had them all in this price range. As far as fit, finish, and accuracy. This one will dance with the best of those. Maybe its because the company is owned by the men that build them. Nothing inspires QC like a direct link to your wallet. ![[Linked Image]](http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq103/jtwodogs/HPIM0282.jpg)

I almost hate to post this up after all those purty 1911's, but I have come to appreciate this one because of its ease of carry, quickness in the hand and its accuracy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x187/SargeMO/123561b1-97b4-4c94-9103-2b60cab7ca63_zpsc7d7bb1c.jpg) 5 rounds of Tula 230 FMJ, 25 yards ![[Linked Image]](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x187/SargeMO/G30_25_Zero_zps2e1fa137.jpg)

Here's a good one, though I haven't shot it enough to rate it as a favorite. SIG 1911 .45, built for the USAR Service Pistol Team in the SIG custom shop. A special commemorative that so far is a great pistol.

Could enlighten me as to what I am looking at in your picture. Thanks for your time. Cheers NC Sure, it's a Harrington and Richardson Reising Model 50 WWII era selective fire submachinegun. It was a failure as a military weapon, but a hoot on the range. When I began my law enforcement career we had two of those in the armory. They were not authorized for carry being leftovers from the 1950s. The chief did let us take them to the range. One worked great. The other had many failures to feed. The one that worked was an absolute blast to shoot.
