ProTsc-1911 - Hands On

[Westcountry Tony]

ok so pretty much the same story from me, I just ran some cheap ol remington target through it, £53 per 1000

350 rounds today, had 2 FTF, purely down to the ammo, big positive firing pin strikes on both occasions, reloaded the ammo and it went 2nd time when being struck in a different place on the rim.

handling is good, but the only way I could get the sights on at 25m was to obscure and that was leaving too much guess work.

pistol shooting is very new to me, I have no idea what stance or grip etc will work for me, so all about experimenting, so far Im just shooting at a 3" disc at 25m, hitting it about 85% of the time, but having huge fun

sights deffo need changing, but not 100% sure what way to go yet, probably some sort of fibre optic setup like I had on a marlin, the firesights, them I liked

so far its all been good, reliable, good fun, trigger is not bad for an out of the box trigger, trouble is Im used to very light and crisp rifle triggers.

hoping to get my shroud done this week, and some different sighting system on, even if its just for comparison

I dont fancy drilling and tapping the lower frame to fit a bridge type mount for a red dot, so not sure what I will do.

Holy moly, ammo prices are outrageous in "Rip Off Britain"- I can get 525 Remington high velocity for $15!!!

the half decent stuff that I run all the rest of the .22 on, is SK standard plus, thats about £78 per 1000

buying 2500 of them sure makes the wallet sting

I did run about 30 of the SK through the 1911 today. they were far more consistent than the cheap stuff, but didnt want to use too much of them

these are proper subs, and cycled the action perfectly as had the rest of the ammo.

on a mission to sort a scope/red dot mount.

Tony, speak to Richard - he has all the mounts and dots for your gun that you could wish for !

[Westcountry Tony]

Thanks mike. Will do. For now and because i like making things i have made my own setup. And aside from a tweak for the poi on target. The setup works well and is accurate. Pics up here as soon as i get a chance.

well, as previously mentioned I knocked up a custom shroud of my own for my 1911.

the alloy parts will be sandblasted then duracoated black, they will fit in a bit more then.

the sights are now on a much longer sight radius and this particular setup seems to work well for me.

another 100 rounds through it this evening, no stoppages or jams,

sorry about rubbish photo, will try to get a decent one taken.

Tony..... you say you are a rifle shooter.... well it would take a rifle shooter to do that to a 1911 !!!

Just kidding ! If it works for you mate then go with it !!!
