I have a 1911 Pro 3”, made in Houlton. I bought it new in 2013, put a few magazines through it, and put away in the safe.
Recently, my interest in 1911’s has been rekindled, and the Pro went to the range yesterday along with a Kobra Carry LW. 100 rounds of 230 gr FMJ through each. They were both a delight to shoot, and if anything the 3” S&W was shooting tighter groups than the Ed Brown. I was very pleased. Neither one had any functioning issues at all.
When I first used the pistol new, it had a tendency to choke when feeding 185 JHP’s, and I bought a couple of Checkmate magazines which solved that problem.
Definitely into the carry rotation.
