Some people just like to hear themselves talk. Don't mind the inmates.
Nice gun. Have fun!

Thank you everyone for your comments and safety concerns.
I'll post my first range results as soon as I can, I'm sure this gun will out shoot me for a long time to come. I knew I would not learn to improve my shooting if the gun itself was not accurate. I went with the long slide because I want to shoot at an average of 25 yrds.
cheers,
Leif

Like the saying goes: "If your gonna do something right, get it right the first time around"
Surely did that with your newly acquired STI. Agree totally with your premise to start off with a piece that is proven accurate. This way you can fully focus on your techniques and develope shooting discipline.
Am such a fan of 1911's, my opinions are definitely biased. Great first gun. Enjoy shooting her - lots!!!!!!
BTW, great pics - from the comments made on your finger - looks like we all admire good manicuring!!!!!

Congrats! but be warned...it's the first of MANY!
Well I could not wait any longer...
Dropped in at the range on my lunch hour, time enough to shoot a box worth.
Very nice smooth action on this gun! Recoil was a bit more than I expected but still very manageable.
I was rushing myself
so results on paper were not very impressive. The powder residue on the crown was very uniform so any accuracy issues is not a fault of the gun.
Cheap range ammo and shaky hands, I have a lot of practice ahead of me.
Here are the resuls of my first 16 rounds at 10m and then 25m

Nothing wrong with those targets, especially for a first pistol. Don't worry about the safety nazi's, they like to hear themselves speaking. Should've heard the uproar when I took

Well the first one is always the hardest to get, then the others all come too easy! I only wanted 2 and now I'm up to 9 and I can't stop! It's an addiction. I love the fact that I can goto the range and say, Hummm which ones will I bring today?
