1)Treat firearms as if they are loaded. 2)Point the muzzle away from non-targets.
3)Keep fingers off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4)Be sure of your target and backstop.

Very nice. Beiruty's got some nice stuff.

The 1911 addiction support group meets every Friday at the range. See you there.
Re: My first 1911
That looks to be a nice 1911, but the photos look photoshoped? The NRA lettering on the top looks too perfect and too pixelated in that photo. I hope my thought is incorrect.
Also, why does it say "Proof" in the grip on the left side? Just curious.
All that said, while I am the proud owner of a Kimber Custom CDP II, I have always wanted a cheaper 1911 to shoot and carry. I do not carry my Kimber very often, due mostly to the $1,200 price. Auto Ordinance has always been one of the "budget" brands I have eyed.

Re: My first 1911
This pistol will stay in its display case. It is custom ordered number of 68 of 100, state of New Hampshire. Those 100 pistols allocated for State of Texas are all sold out.
Maybe it would a BBQ Pistol with custom leather holster that I still have to order.
Here is the link to the info about this pistol.

Instead of "Proof" it would read 68 of 100.

I saw that in my latest American Rifleman magizine and was going to order the Texas edition but you are correct, they are sold out.

Re: My first 1911
Am I the only one who noticed the poor tolerance of the mag release?

Re: My first 1911
If you are referring to the "right side" pic, it could be that the release is slightly inset and the angle/lighting is causing a shadow, making it appear to have poor tolerance.APynckel wrote:Am I the only one who noticed the poor tolerance of the mag release?
In fact, I just pulled my Kimber out and looked at it. While it's not much, it is inset a bit and could easily show a shadow like in the pic.
