For a cheaper practice with the same controls invest in a 1911 in .22 caliber. Lots of fun to shoot and a lot less money while improving muscle memory on the same platform. The wife and I own Sig Sauer 1911-22 pistols and just finished running 500 rounds through them. Lets us practice at a cheaper price and still shoot a 1911. Enjoy your new pistol.

Not to mention that there are .22 conversion kits for your 1911 that will convert it to shoot .22 LR by swapping out the slide, barrel, and the magazine.

You forgot antique. :evil2:

In all seriousness, nice gun. I am partial to the Springfields and wouldn't turn down a Lightweight Champion Operator.
