Very nice. I plan on getting me a 1911 some day. I shot a .45 one years ago and fell in love.

Played around with a friends Colt MK IV Series 80 a few times.

Like a baby 1911.

Anyway I'm still hankering for a S&W 4506 for myself.

Those were a recent police trade in for like $300 + transfer.

So i just came back from the range and it shoots very nice. Way smoother than my uncles walther .380. Recoil is very minimal

Howver i am experiencing ejection issues when im safeing the gun off. I pull the mag out and bring the slide back to eject the chambered round, but instead of flying out, it appears its soooorrta stuck but not really cause all it takes is a wiggle or tilt back and it falls through the mag-well.
When actually shooting though, i dont have issues ejecting casings. I had one failure to feed out of 50 shots but no ejection issues. Now this gun DOES have a magazine safety and im thinking that has something to do with it? Cause while shooting the magazine is in obviously, and it works just fine. Maybe it needs the pressure of the next seated round in the mag to fully eject the chambered round. Or what its only working correctly cause at that point its only ejecting a spent casing instead of a whole cartridge??

My question is.. is this common?
In .380 firearms or 1911s?

But yeah i also took my CZ and it felt like a desert eagle in my hands in comparison to this baby lol

I'm just saying, I'm tired of gun violence in America. We have to deal with it just because people think guns look cool.

Yeah idk, maybe for the house but i just cant walk around with that. If i can find a real compact 9mm or 45 that i can shoot well then sure. But id rather be armed with something *I* can shoot than a cannon im gonna be a bad shot with.

Not for me but I'm happy you found a firearm you're happy and comfortable with

have you tried officer models? the springfield EMP and ruger SR1911 are pretty awesome for a 9mm 1911 in those price ranges.

personally unless you want a ppk for the cool factor i dont see much point in .380 any more when 9mm exists. but if it works for you then more power to ya.
