One of the many reasons I moved out of IL as soon as possible.

I am actually rolling on the floor laughing at this.As a Southerner, the irony is too much. Illinois, the birthplace of Lincoln, who fought a war that left half a million Americans dead to preserve the union. Now one of its sons is asking not if part of the state can secede, but rather if we can just kick it out! That is grand. ;D ;D ;D ;D ROFLLMAO!
FQ13 who says hell yes, but it'll cost us to get them to take it. ;)

Well it's home in the safe

Didn't get a chance to pick up ball ammo so I fed it some reloads I use in the S&W - they're 255 gr swc so I figured I'd get a few jams -

loaded the mag with 8 rounds and got 1 feed failure - slapped forehead - loaded 7 rounds and it ate them all

not an exhaustive test but looks REALLY promising

WTR, I don't know how you feel about the smooth wood grips but I replaced mine with these Pachmyers

http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/pachmayr-rosewood-rubber-grips-for-colt-1911.aspx?a=70713

They are very comfortable and, I think, nice looking.

I replaced mine with a set of Crimson Trace, and gave it a MUCH better feel.

100 rounds through this weekend

50 rounds of 255 swc reloads - 1 failure to feed on initial slide racking
50 rounds of 'generic' USA Ammo 230 gr ball - ran 100%

very happy - even works with a 10 round 'fun stick' that doesn't work in any of the 1911's the guy who loaned it to me has
