Took the wife to the range with a friend of ours. We picked up our shield 9s today (review coming soon but amazing weapon) and he brought most of his guns. Had a lot of fun shooting them all, but his Ruger 9mm 1911 blew me away. Every part of it felt like an extension of my arm. I cannot believe how great this pistol felt. The slide, the trigger, the sights, everything felt simply amazing. My wife and I each have a bodyguard and shield 9 and they're both great in their own way (shield miles above bodyguard) but they don't compare to the 1911. I'll now be pinching my pennies to save for the 1911.
