so as a birthday present to myself, I finally got my first ever 1911. It’s an ATI. Brought it home, cleaned it and going to go shoot it tomorrow.

Oh no! I'm happy beyond words for you and your 1911, because as you know, I love those things with a passion.
On the other hand, I feel for you, because you just went down the rabbit hole of 1911 ownership....

I like it but it’s not a CZ lol. But I’m gonna get the WC spring kit for it, a good holster @chiefjason got any laying around lol, and more mags, then get everything to start reloading for it.

Congrats !! Welcome to the club. Ive been a big fan since 82 and still have that one. Liked it so much , just bought another in 9 mm.Loving that one too. Notice yours has the arched main spring housing ? My 9 came with the flat and it just didn't fill me hand correctly making for wobbly fast second shots. Fixed that with adding the arched housing like yours.

Thanks man. I thought about getting the 9mm version but I was like screw it, I’ll do the 45 just because lol.

As far as the springs housing go, my hamster is still asleep and I’ll take your word on it lol

And another one bites the dust!!
Good luck to you, man, seriously! I hope you snagged an excellent one!

lol, after looking around some folks had feeding issues but I put a few mags through it without issue. It shoots low but I am guess it is the nature of the beast.

But yes they are awesome to say the least

Let me know what happens around the 1,000 round mark, and then at the 5,000 round mark. I'll be interested to hear your experiences, and I'm glad you have the awesomeness of a 1911 in your hands!! LoL. There's nothing sweeter to shoot, at least for me!

I own nothing that has 1k through it lol. So many in 10 years I’ll have that much through this thing. Unless I shoot competitions with it but at that point I’ll find me one in 9mm

Yes. Welcome to the club. They have a nasty habit of multiplying in your safe with a corresponding unexplained loss of money from your bank account. Enjoy!
