I could live without the serrations on the front of the slide, but I can't complain about it either. It's worked pretty much flawlessly for around 2,000 rounds now. From the factory as issued after 500 rounds.. And how it is these days, after I got it back from Mahovsky's Metalife, changed grips, and the safety. Last edited by bhemry; 11/23/14.

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 Direct Impingement is the Fart Joke of military rifle operating systems. ⓒ

I had night sights and the trigger lightened on the Kimber. It's my EDC gun, I replace the recoil spring about every 3000 rounds and it just keeps on running smooth. The Willson is the gun I shoot every week in a local clubs bowling pin match. It has over 20,000 rounds through it and besides cleaning, I change the recoil spring and buffer now and then,and that's it.

I'm thinking with a trigger job and some load work it will be an outstanding gun.

Usually custom 1911's. Currently my favorite is the small 2 1/2" revolver they no longer make. They still make the same style but it has a steel cylinder,mine is Titanium. It has the best quick acquisition sights I have ever had on a handgun. I also have the same basic gun in a 10mm. My other two are a Kinber Eclipse Pro and a Rock Island Armory(which I consider to be the best buy in a 1911 today). With hardball the revolver is by far the most accurate out-of-the-box revolver I have ever had. A pleasure to shoot and carry.

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
