Anybody tried one? 4.5 or 5 inch, I'm trying to talk myself out of it. I hear the first ones had some issues but it didn't sound like anything I can't take care of myself or just send it back.

It'd be a range toy for me, my competition days are all in the past.

I got to shoot a 5" recently. I wasn't impressed. The slide hung when I racked it, and the gun had a heavy awkwardness to it. If I was in the market, mine would be 4.4".

I played with them at SHOT show. Didn't get to shoot them but they felt really good. Really really good. Trigger was great too. It's less than half the price of a Staccato - which I've also played with. Staccato is little more refined, but not even close to 200% better as Staccato's price would suggest. 1911/2011's take some break in; there's a lot of rail surface area that needs to be perfectly mated. And generally they like to be run wet.

LGS had one today.

It came home with me.

Trigger ain't all that but I can take care of that.

Won't be able to shoot until next week.

Remake of the Para-Ordnance 14-45 from the 1990s!

Think more like 2011 modular.

Disassemble clean/lube. Fixed trigger.

Range trip yesterday. 15yds offhand,3 different loads on top 2 and bottom right. Lower left is a control group from a 5in S&W M&P CORE with Trijicon RMR with known good load. I zero it a bit right to comp for my pulling left when in a hurry. I'm gonna stick a RD on it and try again. Pistol ran great even with low pressure loading.
