I found mine liked light 45 like the CorBon 160DPX non+P compact load 1050FPS from a 3" or a 185gr. Mine was never 100% till I started shooting the lighter weight bullets . 230 ball is in low 700fps from these short barrels Mine wouldn't even shoot thru 1/4 lexan (plastic) Commander and Govt put round clean thru. Test for your self and you will be surprised . Need the lighter round to get bullet back to speed.

For The Newbies
Congratulations on your New Pistol Purchase!
Just so some (new to firearms) forum readers have a ballpark idea of what the pistol you're talking about looks like.  |

1911's were designed to be carried cocked & locked. It is not unsafe as some may say. Know your gun.

It's a Winner
Great news....my Warthog is a winner and I love it. I just came in from shooting 100 rounds through it and not 1 failure. I used 3 different brands of ammo as well as the Federal Hydroshocks that it will have in it and it took them all.
More good news is that at 50 feet I was able to put 9 out of ten shots on a 8.5 X 11 target with at least 1 bullseye and the wife almost did as well. This is better than we ever was able to shoot with the S&W I traded in for the Para. I am VERY pleased with this gun......  |

Oh yeah. That's probably going to be my next purchase. I've only got 4 1911s now. Going through withdrawl.
