I gotta admit that the Colt 1903 is for me about as close to the perfect semi-automatic handgun of all I've ever used. I've been lucky enough over the decades to get four of them so far and every one of them has been extremely controllable, a natural pointer, totally reliable and with sights that though small can actually be used.A couple of beauties there @jar_ !

I have tried the 1908 which is the 380 version but honestly it just doesn't feel right. They keep tempting me though and just a few weeks ago I was about ready to buy one but the dealer would not accept my 03FFL and frankly, I just don't buy from folk the won't honor my C&R license. Probably a good thing since as I said I've never found a 1908 I really enjoyed.
Nice!Well, after a very lengthy process here in Canada, I finally got to the range for my first outing.
Sig Extreme 1911 in .45 (I'm still waiting on my M&P9 2.0 long slide)
Went through 150 rounds then shot 2 clips at 10 meters (not sure the range in measured in yards or not)
Very happy with the Sig.
I don't think the night sights are so great for the range though. I'm going to look into a fiber optic front sight.
With so little practice at this point I'm sure this will be the proverbial tack driver soon!
Nice!
At my age I don't buy green bananas! But I do buy ammo, go figure.Thank guys. I was a little surprised myself.
After all the hoop jumping I can now go/access the club 24hrs a day.
When I had the chance to go yesterday there was nobody there and it was very relaxing so I had a little time to get to know the gun better.
I fear now this is going to be a little more expensive than razors and stones , however, I can see myself doing this as a hobby for the next 30 years - should I live so long.

Just got back from the range. Needed to blow off some steam after work.. Took my Beretta 96 in .40 S&W.

Finally here's another two clips this time at only 15'. The center grouping is one clip with with my dominant hand. The grouping at the top is one clip with my non-dominant hand. Working to get that non-dominant grouping tighter.

Wow. Really good work. As @Claudel Xerxes said "nice shooting".... actually, very nice. I used to be good with my off hand. NEVER that good. Keep it up my friend.Just got back from the range. Needed to blow off some steam after work.. Took my Beretta 96 in .40 S&W.

+1. Very nice.
Sorry, FGMM is Federal Gold Medal Match and it is 6.5 Creedmoor. The rifle and the round definitely inspire confidence to reach out there!Accuracy, thy name is Savage! What is" FGMM"? Sounds like a super deal for the range membership! What caliber, 6.5 Creedmore?
