I was expecting tighter groups as this pistol is famous for accuracy. I will continue testing and next time I will build a better sand bag set up for support.



A very gun proficient friend of mine field stripped the gun, examined the parts and their fitting and did some measurements. He was not too impressed, especially considering the semi-custom price range. I recently bought a Les Baer Premier II 1911 and will be comparing these two guns in the coming months. In the fitting department the Les Baer wins hands down, accuracy and ergonomics need more testing.
My 945 was more accurate than the Les Baer Bullsye gun I had....I use a 10lb. spring (Wolff spring) and shoot 200gr.SWC from Montana Bullet over 4gr. Bullseye. Accuracy is unreal....literally 1 hole. At 50 yds, the gun shoots 2" groups of Nosler 185gr.HP over 4.4gr. Bullseye. Break it in, shoot 200-500 rounds, strip the gun, clean with Militec or synthetic oil and lube, keep lots of lube on the barrel (rides all the time in the Briley bushing), and be amazed......
i do use a Red Dot.....
