How is the weight compared to your lightweight?

Thanks, a couple of good tips in there. Like using the table top, I'll try that today.

Colt Lightweight Government ,45 (loaded) 34.75 oz
Para Expert Commander .45 (loaded) 32.55 oz
RIA Commander 9mm (empty mag) 41.51 oz
RIA Commander 9mm (loaded) 45.85 oz

I knew that going in from the specs. Haven't tried to carry it yet so will see how that goes.

Why do you think we say if we run outta bullets we'll use the gun to beat 'em to death?

It's definitely my heaviest but I don't think it will be a problem.

Made a quick trip to the range this morning. Pistol performed flawlessly, no issues whatsoever. I forgot to talk any HP ammo today so will have to do that next time I go. FMJ ran perfectly. Didn’t try any long shots but between 7 and about 12 yards it’s a great shooter.

This target is 3 10 round mags shot between 7 and 12 yards.

Actually won't be much worse than my CZ 75BD that I carry quite often. The CZ is 44.3 oz loaded.

Good combat range shooting....that's all I ask for in a pistol, though still interested in your results when you shoot it further.

Wasn't really planning on it with this gun but I'll give it a shot so to speak. I usually save that for my full size 1911's that I've tuned and my buckmark. Hadn't really intended this to be a bullseye gun.
