you cannot beat a fixed barrel with a 1911, it is physically impossible.
thats like saying a semi auto rifle will shoot a tighter group than a bolt action. and on that subject i will say even if ya have a PSG1 you aint gonna print a group = to a mcmillian bolt using apple to apple federal rounds. semis have TOO MANY MOVING PARTS!
believe it or not there are quite a few spoons that OUTSHOOT the SHOOTER!
example: my sons m1a "loaded" shot some good groups out of the box. now he is having phil arrington install a mcmillian usmc f/glass stock and bed it. he is doing a trigger job, and he is hand fitting the sights and a NM flash suppressor. yer basic menu like this will improve the average shooters groups by a minimum of 50%. it will take years for him to come up to the level of the spoon and realize he now needs a super match if he continues to search for the elusive "X"
another example with a pistol: ruger 22/45. out of box w/fed match 40gr it shot real nice. after entering combat wombat at rio salado and having our azz'z handed to us by others w/ zoomy walthers and hot rodded rugers/brownings we opted for a tactical solutions threaded barrel and compensator. slapped that puppy on and the damn thing puts 'em thru the same hole all damn day long IF YOU CAN! amazing freeking accurracy w/federal match 40gr's. and the groups didnt change an iota when using a awc suppressor from my ffl buddy.
fixed barrels just cant be beat for repeat accurracy.
and remember...............a TIGHT .45 aint gonna function for POO when the POO goes down and it gets dirty and dusty unlike the HK delayed roller blow back system on the HK P9S which is the exact same as a G-3 which if ya watch their testing videos they run over with 5 ton trucks in the mud and drop off 3 story buildings and submerge in water and squib rounds and they STILL SHOOT INSANE GROUPS!
read mossad ayoobs article on the HK P9S. he used to shoot the BIANCHI CUP with one.
i have watched ALOT of HIGH DOLLAR STI and OTHER MFG's 1911 race guns malfunction at 3 gun matches. FTF or FTE doesnt matter............they failed. an HK P9S is my SHTF out da door go to spoon hands down and IT ALWAYS GOES BANG!
i'd give my left/right huevos for a P9S TARGET in .45 and 9mm. that would be my ultimate barnyard score. they are so damn spendy now its pathetic.
