I used to be a 100% 1911 person... then decided that I really should give these plastic pistols a try. Bought a police trade in Gen 3 G17 (full size 9mm) at a gun show for like $380 out the door. Well, now the cheaper plastic pistols outnumber the old classic pistols.
Hope you can find some range ammo- that seems to be a common problem right now. Get in some range time and post a report!
