Took the 1911's out shooting

I took both of my 1911's out shooting today. One is a RIA 1911A1. The other is a S&W 1911PD. Both worked flawlessly with a good mix of ammo. One strange thing happened though. The third Mag I shoot the first out of the RIA 1911 did something funny. Every round hit my right ear muff in the same place, 8 rounds total. Never done that before and did not do it again. Used the same mag in both pistols and never hit the ear again. I was shooting strong side one handed bullseye type stance.

My Colt combat commander used to chuck the brass right into my face - when I ended up with a case stuck between my safety glasses and my nose which left a burn mark, I figured that gun and I were not friends and parted company in favor of a Glock 17. Never looked back until recently, somehow the 1911/45 itch never goes completely away.
Good luck!

John Moses Browning sure designed a nice firearm with the 1911. It would be nice to see what is still around in another 100yrs.
While I was shooting I heard "What was that?" It seems there was a new shooter next to me. The 1911 was chucking some casings over the divider in to her lane. It was a 60+ yr old lady. Her husband had bought her a gun, a compact 9mm from the looks of it. She was signed up for next weeks woman only CC class. Ever since Wisconsin got CCW I am seeing women at the gun shops buying guns in mass.
