Hey guys, some of you know I purchased a PII thursday, I went to the range today. All I can say is WOW.. below are 50yd shots,second the target is 50yds with 5 magazines through it and the first is 50yds and 1 8 round magazine, the holes in the corners are where the staples held the target to the board and not bullet holes

Nice shooting.

The grips are really nice and your shooting is most impressive. :thumb:

Congrats, I hope, and think you will be quite satisfied. Looking forward to a range report.

OK, so nice hole in paper... So do you like it??

Definitely shows that you get what you pay for! I read an article about a gun writer making a fair number of 100 yard shots with an Ed Brown 1911. I would think that with the cost and the build quality, you really should expect to get that kind of performance from a Les Baer, Ed Brown, Wilson, etc.

I wouldn't have believed you until I bought this pistol, the range has a 12"diameter steel plate set up at at 125yds and I hit it aprox 4-5 out of 8 shots. There were people having trouble hitting it with a rifle, this pistol will make a regular shooter shine.

thanks, man I love this pistol. When I 1st purchased this pistol it drilled in my head "are you an idiot for paying this much for a pistol" then I took it to the range and never thought about that again. I think you need to own a couple of other 1911's before you get one like this one to appreciate it's potential.

I'm truly Happy for you, and just a little NVus.

OK, so now the hard (or stupid) question?? Would the $12-$1800 Kimber give a comparable increase in 'shootability' over the $600 Taurus?? Or, said another way, is price point any indication or reflection on 'shootability'??

I would buy a Taurus before I bought a kimber, I never owned one but have shot many at my lgs. kimber do not use forged parts. They do have a very good design/blueing shop and like ford mustangs, they're everywhere, even one by the back door price point is a chart to see how many crazy people live in a certain area.

Well then, I guess you just blew the top off the Bell Curve in your 'hood.
