I have always been a huge fan of the 1911. I carried one in Viet Nam, and my proficiency with it explains why I'm still here today. Since leaving the service, I have owned a number of 1911s; four are currently present in my safe.

Old eyes and difficulty seeing the front sight at speed made me purchase a 9mm C.O.R.E. I replaced the stock trigger and sear with Apex parts, added a Trijicon RMR, a Carver Custom magwell, and several Taylor Freelance magazines extensions. All of a sudden, my 1911s are safe queens.

Is there any hope?

It's all an evolution.

My Dad, an NRA rated Master shooter in bullseye in his younger days, owns and shoots a C.O.R.E. with an MRDS. He out shoots me all the time.
