That 1911 is a beauty. 1911 is on my wishlist. I want to get one for an EDC.
Purchased a couple of months ago but my PRS rifle finally arrives this week. I'll post pictures once I get it. It's an MPA Matrix Pro-2 6.5 CM. Other than that recently I purchased 4 ammo cans, a PMA Tool Bore guide, and 10 boxes of 6.5 CM ELD match ammo. I still need to get a rear sand bag, some extra mags, a range backpack, and a bipod. This sport got expensive really fast and I haven't even started yet lol.
My Ruger SR1911 has the heaviest recoil spring I’ve ever felt in a 1911! I still have less than 1,000 rounds through it, but I thought it may smooth out a bit by now. It seems to cycle my “popcorn fart” reloads ok, but it sure seems heavy.

Today, I ordered 200 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt 35 REM, 200 grain, soft point directly from Remington.com. The lowest price on Ammoseek was that of a sole seller trying to get $99.99 per box plus shipping & tax. The Remington site was selling it for $67.99 per box of 20 plus shipping and tax. I got 10 boxes of 20 rounds each for $449.71 or $44.97 per box of 20 including tax and free shipping. Went through ExpertVoice.com and got 40% off the retail price by using the discount code I got there. Not that I liked to pay that amount, I would much prefer the pricing from when it was less than $25.00 per box, even less than $20.00 per box but while it is high now, if you want it take it at the best price you can find when you see it. So I grabbed it.
Ordered a 7 round magazine from Beretta for my Tomcat 3032. It was on sale for $20.00; I would have ordered two or three except for the fact that I ordered 200 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt 35 REM 200 grain SP yesterday and that was a big bite out of my pocketbook. I also expect to possibly drop oodles of cash in a firearms auction this weekend, so I need to watch any additional sending before then..

I'm going to ask a dumb question but I'm asking for real.
How do you know if the recoil spring needs to be replaced?
This just came today 
You don’t. Most springs depending upon the application have a fatigue limit or limited life. Thus, manufacturers (of firearms) will recommend a round count for spring replacement that is less than the calculated failure rate of the spring (preventative maintenance).
I think you will like it but it does take a little practice to get the right sight picture.I just got my first pistol red dot, definitely a learning curve.

Got another small batch of some 9mm just now.
After over 40 years, I finally had a Remington Walker trigger (despite having been professionally adjusted, and being, to my eyes, clean and dry) do what Walker triggers are sometimes known to do.
The rifle was unloaded at the time, so no real danger. But, a wake-up call nevertheless.
A TriggerTech replacement just arrived in the mail.
