I'll definitely, keep that in mind, many thank you. Philip

Hi, I shot with a shooting rest today, 7 yards, Federal 115 grain ammo. I should work on my grip instead of adjusting the rear sight. Thank you, guys!

All very helpful tips, thank you very much, Joe. I shall try with a rest first, I haven't yet.

Finally took the new toy to the range today. Very smooth, lots of fun though it didn't cycle completely a few times. Not sure if it's because not enough oil. Shots land on upper left unless with adjustment. I need to figure out how to adjust the rear sight, what tool do I need and how, any...

Thx, will do.

Front sight changed to Dawson P .180"T /.100"W fiber; kept factory adj rear sight, and got a Wilson Combat 10 round magazine. I'll go to the range this weekend.

Wonderful, I'll come back here once I decide what to do with the sights. Thank you.

That's a good idea, I'll give it a try. I do have a adj rear sight on my Glock 34, but there is white U shape and white front dot. Thank you much.

I finally got my SA 1911 9mm home; very pleased. I don't think I can shoot with black sights and don't understand the advantage of adj rear sight. I am thinking to change the front sight to this one: https://dawsonprecision.com/dawson-precision-springfield-1911-fiber-optic-front-sights/ or...

This is a good deal, thank you Joe.

Awesome, I bought Mec-Gar for P226 before; they are good but haven't tried Metalform. Thank you for the tip, this is very helpful.

Quick question, which 1911 9mm magazine do you suggest for my S/A Loaded Target? Are they all compatible across different manufacturers? Something like these? Will the new design 10 round magazine also be reliable...

I see that makes sense; thank you for your insight. I'm glad I picked S/A

I will do that; I can't wait to try it out. I'll report back here in about two weeks. Cheers!

Yes, Kimber is a bit more in my area; more margin is likely the reason they suggested Kimber. RIA would be a good option if I can get it in CA; I learned they are good firearms too. It's nice you got the S/A on Gungbroker.

Totally Bob, it's a great link indeed.

Thank you, Joe, for your kind greeting and sharing of your 1911 experiences. I totally agree the service is extremely important, especially firearms. My first firearm was early 1980's in Argentina; it was a Colt 1911 .22 LR, I don't remember the model anymore, but it was extremely expensive...

Hi Fred, Thank you, and certainty, I will do that ASAP. P

Hi 1911 fellows, thank you all for your insights and suggestions. I finally pulled the trigger today, 02/02/2022 exercising my 2nd. It's a CA version of Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Loaded Target 9mm
