A good friend has one and he did some good groups with it... he had a used glock that he was unreal with at 25 yards...He made me look bad some times with my over priced pistols !!!!!

I am a little defensive from working 21 years in prisons & jails in CT:screwy:... I am a little high strung but you guys are OK and it would be cool to shoot some ammo and talk pistols or what ever !!!!!!!!!! now about hand held shooting I have good days & bad ones ...I can some times do 5 shot groups at 25 yards of 2" or less...I have done a few of 1" ..but thats on a real good day. My best was a 5 shot at 30 yards of a little over 1" but that was a freaky good day. Trust me some times I just plain STINK !!!!!

Just to see what it can do.... I have never used a RR or any such objects. When you pay that much for a pistol it's good to know what it can do... I do all my shooting hand held with iron sights. I agree with you that too shoot with a pistol or rifle should be done hand held.

Thanks Bro !!!! same here if you are in the Nashville area you can try one of mine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob Marvel did those in a RR before he shipped out the pistol..... I would love to be able to that ...it's my dream & my NIGHTHMARE....

Which DW ?? they seem to make a great pistol for money.

The targets below are 10 shot groups at 50 yards in a Ranson Rest of 1' & 1".396 from my Marvel Custom... ... I had a S&W 1911 and for the $$$ they are good guns !! but they will not group the same ..Like I said you don't need a 1911 to be that good at long range... but it comes down too personal choice.. Your pistol at only 25 yards from Guns & Ammo By Wiley Clapp The Shooting Session To break in the S&W 1911, I ran several boxes of miscellaneous loads through it, mostly 230-grain ball and JHPs, at my local club range. I wanted to use 230s to get full recoil and a subjective impression of the pistol's handling with real-world ammo. I tried tin-can rolling and dirt-clod busting along with some fast target drills (Hammers and Mozambiques) and found that the SW1911 performs every bit as well as any Government Model I've ever fired. The trigger is on the heavy side but still bearable. Having dry-fired the gun before I ever loaded it, I was aware of the need to really get into the grip safety to be sure the firing-pin block is cleared. Any Government Model is best used with a positive grip and aggressive handling; this one is no exception. It's also true that you need a strong, locked-wrist grip to ensure proper functioning. Don't limp-wrist it (or any other 1911, for that matter). To evaluate accuracy, I used a Ransom Rest bolted to a rigid concrete bench. After a couple of magazines to settle the gun in the inserts, I lined up my Oehler 35P chronograph screens and started shooting for record. The actual shooting went uneventfully. With each of 10 different loads, I fired a 10-shot group using five rounds from each of the two provided magazines. In short order I had a short stack of targets from which I was able to derive some interesting information. The overall average group size was 2.87 inches, and the best group measured 2.15 inches (fired with Black Hills 230-grain JHPs)--all in all, an excellent performance for a box-stock, service-grade 1911-style pistol. Final Thoughts Although the idea of a Smith & Wesson Government Model may seem a trifle unusual to some, it seems perfectly clear to me that this is a fine rendering of a classic. I believe it will quickly become a staple of the service pistol scene. We are going to see SW1911s in SWAT cop holsters, on the firing line at IPSC and IDPA matches and even in Milt Sparks rigs at Gunsite and Thunder Ranch. And, believe me, this first standard SW1911 is just the beginning. Other variations are on the way. Stay tuned. 10 Rounds 50 yards ......................................................................................................................10 Rounds 50 yards

Dave I was a member at the Smith & Wesson range before I moved to TN...10 Months ago. Smith & Wesson Springfield, MA..I lived 30 mins away in CT. Mass has some stupid gun laws and restrictions on what pistols you can own. More than one person working there like my 1911's & wished they could own 1911's that where not restricted. The S&W Performance Center 1911's are very good at 25 & 50 yards. The other ones are decent but nothing great. I agree that spending over $2000 for a 1911 is over kill...but I have 1911's that will do 10 shot groups of 1" at 50 yards. Some are 1 1/2" ..I can't shoot that good but I have done some good groups. Your pistol is good but it will not come close to 10 shot groups at 25 or 50 yards...sure you don't need a pistol to group that well ...but I am into trying to put rounds in the same hole at long range. Does anyone need a pistol to shoot that good at long range NO...but I enjoy it ...PEACE

WOW ....something I agree with you guys on.....1911forum.com & John & his moderators... Total Pro Nighthawk board because Nighthawk gave John a free Talon and they pay money every month to advertise on his board.
