My 1911 shoots like a dream. We were doing a long day at the range last Saturday, and we were back at the 25 yard line, shooting 3 shot groups. The instructor says "the best your pistol can shoot this far out is about 3" groups - so don't be discouraged if your groups get considerably larger than they were back at the 10"
My first group was 2.5 inches, and I didn't have anything over 5" from the 25 shooting at a man sized silhouet. I sure wasn't doing that w/ my Glock! 3 rounds, 2.5 in, at 25 yards that is good, really good, and no glock

Be right back. Need to scout out the area. The sirens are not good. Be safe bro. Took my flashlight and my dog since I have been drinking. Just the fire dept at someonese house a few houses away. My dog was not going ape crap outside so I knew no one was on my property. Dogs rule. I agree - dogs are great. Fearless.

My average group was about 4" from there - but I didn't have a "point" to aim at - just center mass. I'm thinking about upgrading to a match barrel - which could bring it in even tighter! I was a good shot w/ my Glock - but nowhere near this good. The 1911 is like an extension of my arm - its crazy.

Your instructor was right, kind of, it's the people that blow the groups at farther ranges not the pistol. Most folks at 25 yards pull a 8-10" group easy. It takes trigger time and managing the flinch to be able to get the groups you had. Great job. 1911's are the way to go for accuracy.

I think that a lot of it is the trigger - and I just have whatever came stock in it. The Glock was a pretty long pull. The new squared off FLETC shooting stance and thumb forward grip sure make a difference too.

Keep in mind though ( as I am sure you know) there is an accuracy/reliability tradeoff at some point. For a duty/carry weapon, reliability is higher on my list.

I have overcome the flinch for the most part and my trigger squeeze is good to go - the Army really cured me of those bad habits - its amazing how much rifle shooting as improved my pistol shooting.

I do plan on getting a new trigger w/ an adjustable "reset." I should probably just build a new "match grade" pistol for target shooting huh?
