I was recently whining to my friends how i can't afford a 1911 and rarely get to even shoot one. So on the next range day, my coworker brought two of his and passed a couple of 8 round clips for each.
Shooting his pretty new full size S&W (i don't know the model) produced the following results at 7 yards. Ignore the marked hole; it's a stray from a different gun.
Judging from the diagonal slant of the bullet holes, i have some trigger issues. But it is a nice gun.
Then i got to try his 80 year old Essex.
The first shots went astray because i was not ready for such a light trigger. But once i settled down... wow! What a sweet gun! If i didn't know there were 16 rounds, i wouldn't be able to count them.
Since my friend has two 1911s, i offered to take the old one off his hands, but he said no. I'll tell you, people just don't understand charity any more...
