Well I spoiled myself this week an bought two new guns.
Springfield 1911 A1 - This gun is amazing... I have a Colt 1911 A1 but the hammer like to bite me. The Springfield has a upward curve on the beaver tail which stops this from happening. I bought the blued version with redwood grips. My son and I took it to Impact Guns today to shoot and I could not believe how acurate it was. It has Night Sights which is nice however could be better during daylight shooting. However, I would give this gun a 10 out of 10.
Kel-Tec 380 - This gun is great for concealment. There is one major problem though, I put 100 rds through this gun today the first 3 magazines jammed almost every shot. However, as we continued to shoot it got less and less of a problem. I talked to the gunsmith and he said it needed to be fired a few hundred time to be "Broken In". Then it would not be an issue. He said it had to do with the machine stamped parts they use. I can understand but any gun that has had that many jams worries me to carry as a lifesaving concealed weapon. I would give this gun a 6 out of 10 if it does break in as stated.
