I spent a few hours at the range this morning. The advice helped, again, as each time I go things are (a little) better. When I finished with the M-52, I decided I'd shoot a few targets with my Salyer 1911. First impression - something is wrong. By comparison, it's as if my 1911 is made from plastic. I couldn't believe how light it felt! Then, as "BE Mike" posted up above, I found that working with the Model 52 improved my targets from the 1911.
