I was not aware of that. On the contrary, 9mm 1911s seem to shoot VERY well (much better than 2-inches at 25-yards) with good ammunition, and a good, properly fitted barrel. But as you say, such a pistol probably couldn’t necessarily be obtained by randomly buying a Springfield or an S&W Pro Series off the shelf. Nevertheless, a flyer or two that consistently takes what could be a very nice group out to 7-8 inches at 25-yards cries out to be fixed!

That’s a nice looking Colt. I have a friend who owns one and he likes it. I’d call it “a mediocre shooter” but if you ask us both to produce a 5-shot group his Colt (at 3-4 inches) is likely to beat my S&W. The Colt not does produce flyers.
