Sig Sauer 1911

Now that the weather is getting nice my friend and I took a trip to the range to shoot outdoors. Today he brought his Sig Sauer 1911. I have shot .45 ACP before but never a 1911, some people will say that your first .45 should always be a 1911 but mine was actually a M&P45. This 1911 has some solid weight to it which helps handle the recoil. The trigger is as smooth as butter and just seems so natural to pull. I was pretty accurate with the gun although the rear sight isn't set right and is way to loose. As you can see this doesn't have a factory wood grip it was replaced with a rubber grip. I wasn't a fan of the slide release it seemed hard to get to. I will most likely buy a 1911 some day but would need to try a few more before spending the high price of most of them out there.

The .45 Longslide with Laser Sighting

This handgun should look very familiar to anyone who is a fan of action movies. The .45 longslide pictured here with laser sighting is from the movie the Terminator. The actual gun is an AMT Hardballer with a longslide. The laser mounted on this gun had a wire to a pack of batteries because the technology just wasn't around at the time to have it all in one. AMT is no longer around but you should be able to find a few of these floating around online or at a gun show. If you decide to put a laser on it you should be able to find a smaller one.
