Wow that trigger really breaks that glass I need to get used to that because I'm so used to shooting striker fires unfortunately.
You away because it is I'm not gonna say it's necessarily cheap it's not a cheap firearm but gosh it's a very fair price.
Nothing in the chamber I mean that just feels so so slick that you would think it costs at least double what it really does.
First day out with it it's just such a just a sweetheart of a shooter low recoil for 45 ACP it looks darn good.
It's a showstopper for sure but yeah I mean for my first taste of a Smith & Wesson 1911 man they are freaking cool.
