My SP and AC Commander

[A.J. Holst]

Finally got my camera working and interfacing with my laptop, so here are some pics.

My original carry gun, A Ruger SP101 .357 with Trausch grips and HiViz sights.

My newest toy and future carry gun,

A Metro Arms American Classic Commander with Hogue grips

I wonder if my AC had any part in your decision to get the Hogue grip for yours?

Have you shot it any more since you came over? I have about 100 more rounds thru mine. I tuned my trigger up to give me a 3 1/2 pound pull as well as very little take up and overtravel.

Every time I shoot this thing it seems like it is getting better. I was getting one hole groups at 10 yards today while I was getting the sight set. I tweaked my rear sight a bit by opening up the notch a bit more and squaring the bottom. Definitely made for a better sight picture for me.

After shooting yours, I thought I may get a set of Hogues.

I fired about 75 through it on Tuesday at Coal Creek (was on that end of town) and the checkered wooden grips, while look good, simply were not comfortable after extended shooting.

Hope to test out the feel of the Hogues this weekend.

I'm still getting use to the sight picture, seems to be hitting a little low, but it may be me.

Had no issues with the hammer returning to 1/2 cock during cycling, but I had one strange occurrance.

Round fired / ejected / cycled normally, pulled trigger, hammer did not release.

Hand cycled, cleared and re-fed, operated normally.

FYI - have about 100 rounds through it total (plus your reloads) all Remington UMC 230gr MC, no failure to feed / fire / eject (other than the one issue listed above)

Round fired / ejected / cycled normally, pulled trigger, hammer did not release. Probably not a good grip, need to have a decent grip on the gun to release the grip safety. Or at least that what it sound like to me. As you shoot it can walk around in the hand enough to sometimes release the grip safety.

Hand cycled, cleared and re-fed, operated normally.

Where did you get your 1911?

[Dolomite_supafly]

They had them at the last show in Knoxville. They were selling for $450-$475 depending on model and dealer. I can't say enough positive things about mine.

They are also on gunbroker as well. Here is one for $450 shipped to your FFL.

Where did you get the HiViz?

I got the HiViz from Optics Planet and had it installed for $35.00
