Default A 1911 range report (Various Manufacturers) S&W wins

All models are .45 ACP and have combat Novak or Novak-style sights except the Gold Cup Trophy and Para. All are 5" barrel models. And all targets were shot at 14 yards with Hornady TAP 230 grain XTP+P. Mind you this was after quite a few magazines so my groups may have suffered from some fatigue. I really prefer the S&W E-series!
