SW1911 - First 200 Rounds

[Hunter8282]

Finally completed my first 200 rnds through my S&W 1911! It functioned flawlessly with Federal Champion 230gr FMJ and the factory magazines!

Here's a pic of my last three targets. These are 16 shot groups at 7 yards! the middle target is the best with only 1 shot out of the 10 ring. Just need to tweak my grip or trigger control a bit to get them centered. Also a picture of the gun after the range session. Time to clean her up and try out my Federal HST 230gr defense ammo!

Glad your range trip went well, those are some good looking groups.

Looks good!

You might try shooting at longer range - 15 - 25 yards. 7 yard groups are not very helpful, although they are great confidence builders.

33 feet is my typical practice range. Steel is the target and my sight/ammo goal is to hold right on and get hits. I like to sight in @ 33
feet on a 3" black bullseye.
Looks likeyou have a sweet 1911. Tough to beat! Have Fun!

I would be hesitant shooting at more than 7 yards--you get fined $25 if you miss the target!!!

Thanks for the pics and info. Your new smith is like wine, it's get better as it ages. Best of luck.
