Just added a little .45 to the repertoire (Update)

Have looked at it, several times over last 3 weeks. Came home did some more research, went back and placed it, (an American Tactical - Titan LW) a Springfield XD subcompact in .45, and a Springfield XDS in .45 all side by side, comparing them.
I was somewhat tempted to leave with the XDs, (even though I had gone back to pick up the Titan.) but the classic all steel 1911 design had me in its grip.
It is the smaller "Officer," size, 7+1 single stack. extended beavertail, ambi-safety, 3 hole lightweight trigger, drilled (or open) hammer, adj. front and rear Novak sights, classic checked mahogany grips, parkerized finish.
I'll be shooting it tomorrow, so a range report will follow. [:)]
Just shot 4 mags (28 rounds) of FMJ through it. 1st mag had 3 FTF issues. (2nd, 3rd, and 4th round)
Not happy.[:(]
Fired three more mags, (all 230gr ball ammo.) through it. Not as bad, but still sporadic FTF issues. Gonna have to do some stone work to the feed ramp, it looks like.
Good news was that out of those 28 rounds, (at approx 15 yards)
9 were in the Bull. All but 3 of the rest were in the 9.
Gonna disassemble, do some stone work, to the feed ramp, grease the rail, (as has been suggested here,) and try again.

Thank you Brother. [:D]
Nice,,,,,[;)]

Thank you Forge. The single action trigger, is very very smooth, clean breaking and light. Anxious to run some rounds through it. [:D]
I've been wanting one of these, for quite a while now. Fit and finish, is very nice.[:)]
I got my li'l brother an ATI couple years ago, added a muzzle brake & rubber/Rosewood grips with hex grip screws; he kinda likes it!
I'm with ya man! Tomorrow is when I pick up an EAA SAR45, 14-shot, nite sight, extra mag & find a nice holster at the same show!

I texted a photo, of the other side, to Savage170. He hooked me up, by posting this photo for me.
Who am I to complain?? [:D]
The other side, looks just as nice. [:)]
Now forge can point it in the right direction
Very nice...$425?
Thanks Shilo. I tried to wiggle em' down, but they were firm on $450.
I was bummed I missed out on Kasey's XD/40. I believe I'm going to like this classic better.
After shipping and receiving, I would have been into the XD/40 around $420ish. (If) I could have scored it for $360 or so.

Wish I could post pics, the "hunt" website doesn't work on my phone, and about all I can do is email pics to some kind soul & hope they can post 'em!
I pick it up tomorrow, the FFL I use had to go before I got there; hoping the kid's a boy!

It's not really a competing auction site, but it has great pics of guns!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Best was trying to get back in, the back screen door. Wasn't moving , till I * it open, and smacked myself in the forehead with the door. Bleeding now. Too funny.[:0].
Ahh...Life.[:)]
[:)][:)][:0][^]
Beautiful. Got the bleeding stopped. Went into the bathroom to take a look. Took a big divot, out of my forehead. Life is good!
[:)][:)][:0][^]
Sounds like you need an all purpose helmet![:)] Something like a hardhat??[:)]
Its the freaking latch, on the back screen door.
Took a scheduled day off, to avoid the 6th workday,
(Mandatory Sat.)
That's what I get. [:D]
Too funny.[:0]

Yeah, I wear a hardhat at work. Maybe I need to wear one at the House, as well.[:(]
