I am now in full agreeance with this post.

I put 200 rounds ($100 just on ammo JFC) through a 4" Springfield 1911 .45 today.

I'm more accurate with it than the Glock 23 surprisingly enough and the sights are 100x better than the ones on the Glocks.

My only grievance, besides costs of gun and ammo, is the slide release is in an inconvenient spot and it's more or less a minor nuisance to bring the slide home.

Now all I need is an excuse to tell the gf as to why it is so important I spend over 1K on a pistol :/
