MRI 1911 U range report. HAPPY ENDING!

[Bawanna]

Just got back from finally getting to shoot my officer size 1911U. I was concerned it would be a bit heavy on the recoil but I'm happy to report it wasn't bad at all.
Shot well, no issues. The adjustable sights are sweet, able to dial it in very easy. I need to put a bunch more rounds thru it which I will do this week. I'm over at the lake, and my favorite usually empty range. Been raining, but it's a covered shooting spot so only get wet when you change targets.
I'm very happy with it. I'm back to a full fledged 45 guy once again.

Well I shot the Tisas today as well and as before it shot pretty durn nice. I probably ought to hold on to it for a bit as age creeps up on me. I wore my 365 over, been carrying it for a couple weeks. It's back in the box an the MRI is on my hip.

Variety is the spice of life. It's great to have choices.

For some folks, a Happy Ending does not include firearms.

My Sig Ultra 3.3" Officers has been -
Back to the Mother-ship for feed ramp polishing.
Chamber opened by local gunsmith.
Replaced recoil springs with OEM & ISMI.
Tried OEM, Wilson Combat and Mec-Gar magazines.
I'm still getting occasional FTF and now Failure to Return to Battery
Not often, but enough that I can't carry the gun.
Also the OEM grips cracked
Replaced cracked grips with ERGO hard rubber (I actually like them).
Found OEM Ultra grips on Ebay inbound as they appear to no longer be in production.

It's a shame as I love the way the gun feels and shoots when it runs ...

The OEM and by recommendation ISMI recoil springs are both 20 lbs.
I've got OEM 3.5" Wilson Combat Sentinel 22 lb and Wolff Colt Officers 24 lb extra power springs inbound.
I'm not done yet!
