I picked one up on Gunbroker about 3 weeks ago. I have very large hands so it is not a natural pointer for me, yet. It is tiny in all dimensions and indeed feels more like a kids toy gun when you pick it up than a 1911. Function is great Even with the 4.25" barrel it is only 17 ounces. Accuracy at self defense distances is surprising. I have a standing order for the short barrel version when they are shipped in June. I am that impressed with it. Look for Browning 1911 380. Fit and finish is about on par with other 1911's at the price point. Jim is right, it is fun and it is easy to carry. It is ground breaking with a lot of Tupperware content but function, handling and controls are ALL right up our 1911 alley.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.
