I took the small 1911s to the range. All of them are 45ACP, all 230 grain, 10 yards.


Colt CCO. I don’t know how old this is, I got it used and had it reworked so much that the only thing original is the frame and slide. Officers size (small)

5 rounds on a playing card at 10 yards is the tactical standard. I pulled one low.

Para Ordinance LDA. This one is from the early 2000s. Nicely centered, another Officers size (small)

Springfield Armory Lightweight Champion Operator. I’ve shot this one so much, I had to put a new recoil spring set in it because it was getting loose…..looks like it worked.
this one is a little different, full Government size aluminum frame (large) with an officers slide (small)


it was a good day.
