My new 1911A1. Got some questions for you guys.

[Jackalope]

Oh crap I've been doing it all wrong!

LMAO! NOT! Thanks for the pic I may be able to get back to the range tomorrow and see if I've improved any after reading the tips and article and seeing your pic.

If anyone who is familiar with the 1911 is free and wouldn't mind taking a look at or even test firing mine please let me know so I know if I have a problem with it or if its just me. Thanks guys for all your help so far.

I'm in Brooklyn Park probly 10 min from where you live as I'm right off of Richie Hwy. I was at Select Fire where do you go to shoot?

I go there. I'm off today (tues). Then on Friday.

I'm not overly familiar with 1911s but I am looking at a RIA myself so I would love to shoot yours. Not sure if that gives you a whole lot of help though. I'm a decent enough shot though.

I have a RIA two tone tact model, and same thing, I am all over the place, just as bad as buck shot pattern....

I thought it was the gun in the first place, RIA is great but no super on details. I went thru the 1k round break in period and dehorn the trigger. I am doing "better" now, but still no as good as my smaller caliber pistols. For me, the problem was primary on the shooter. I mostly shoot 9mm, and once a while I would do CDP and that's what I get. Lack of practice. If I took my time and remind myself all the fundamentals, then it comes back to me with better results.

Some people shoot some guns better than other guns. I don't know why, but that is how it is.

Nice meeting you today. Glad we could tighten your group up and make your pistol more accurate you shot great!

With members from here, yes.
I feel bad enough with them paying the range time. I really appreciate it tho and have a blast. I have a shit ton of experience and like to pass it on. I wouldn't mind having a few people once and having at it somewhere.
Tough to do a quick block of instruction inside a booth.

Deff great meeting you man and thank you for all your help! If you ever need help with your truck I used to be an ASE cert master tech and may be able to save you some money on brake jobs and such.

I'll see about getting the trigger worked on as you suggested. Also my wife wants to know if you could help her out with her shooting too, we'll buy you lunch if you like.

As to anyone else if you want to try out my 1911 just PM me and we'll work something out.

Yea a lot of ranges have a policy against private instruction. A few pointers never hurt but if you started charging people I'm sure you would start running into some problems.

Need some pointers you mean?
