Yes!!!! I love mine. One of my most favorite range guns of all time. Enjoy it the best you can

The only thing I personally changed on it, were the grips. Other than that it's perfect.

Mine appears to be a shooter as well. FMS1911... Does the grip safety on yours rattle very much? Mine does, and I'm always curious what the grip safety on others might be like. Just wondering. Thanks.

Oh man...Mine rattles like church bells. Don't worry about it. I used to be concerned with it years ago, haven't been for a while. Just how they're made!

Although I wish it was tighter.....lol

I'll have to rattle mine and find out...hold on a sec.

Yup, it's loose, makes a little "clicking" noise...would not call it a rattle.

Definitely not going to obsess over it.
