I like mine in 9mm, and like my buddy's in .40. It is quite accurate even in my hands.

Which is interesting since the slide is so loose on the frame that you can shake it and get a rattle sound. Really. I guess that has no effect on accuracy, which makes me wonder why all the 1911 gunsmiths work so hard to get slides tight on the 1911 frame. It must have something to do with differing locking lug designs.
