I finally did it. I have wanted a 1911 for a long time but just wouldnt spend the money. I tried to buy a Springfield Loaded Commander size in stainless but my FFL couldnt order one, his supplier couldnt get them. I called around and never did find one. Then I checked a store that had a deal on the Kimber Pro Carry HD.
Its a steel Commander size in stainless. I bought it for less than the Springfield I was looking at and all it didnt have on it was the night sights. I figure I can add that later.
Dont know if I did anything smart or not, I plan to shoot cast in it. I ordered a Lee 200 gr. semi wadcutter mold. I have read about some of the 1911's not cycling these bullets but others like em. I am gonna try them and will probably go to a Lyman mold in a 200 gr. semi wad cutter. Any suggestions?
I'd like to find an old H&G 68 mold, I'll keep my eyes open but I understand that Lyman makes one real close to it. Any suggestions on loads?
