A four inch group with a 1911 .45 is not bad at all


My Wilson Combat KZ45 is even better, but three time the price.

I believe Mr Whiting is speaking of a standard issue 1911 Colt .45.

Which
does have an awful pattern even at 50 yards.


Mine is a Springfield Armory, with a bit of trigger work and my onw
reloads.
At 50 yards through a Ransom rest it shoots about a 4-5" group. The load

I
use has been tweaked for this particular gun and it's had a couple
thousand
rounds through it.

There are some mods that can be
done, as in with some of the new modified 1911's. Which very few of

those
are "real" 1911's, but aftermarket copies.


The term "1911" is for any version of the original J.M. Borwning design.

A Kimber 1911 come to mind. Which
is a very nice weapon with alot better patterns than it's old standard

US
military version. Just a good old Colt .45! Great for close combat, but

not
a reach out and touch someone kind of weapon.


Which is the point I made about a .44 Mag being much better at 100 yards
and
further.

Could I hit a Cessna 150 at 100 yards? Sure. Every time? Probably not.
