I picked up a Rock Island 1911 9mm a week ago at the gun show. Surprisingly I was able to find 300 rounds of 9mm at a combination of local stores that didn't break the bank.
The weather was nice enough today to get out to the range. Unfortunately the closest I can set a target at this range is 15 yards which is further than I like to shoot a handgun but beggars can't be choosers. I shot about 60 rounds or so using Blazer Aluminum TMJ. I have never had any issues with this ammo and today was no different.
I absolutely love the 1911 platform and this gun is no different. I had been wanting a 1911 in 9mm for some time and this one delivers. Just over $400 and it feeds flawlessly and like all other 1911's I have shot, this shoots where you point it with minimal recoil. I would have liked to stay longer and put a couple hundred rounds through it, but in today's times, one must be conservative with what little ammo is out there.
