Guess you would have to have large hands and some muscle to handle the recoil.
 
Some pretty cool tech there, but after having to qualify with the single barrel 1911 model, and never doing any better than sharpshooter, I would guess your 2nd shot might be as close as 5 feet to the bulls eye, if you're lucky! I'll just keep my Walther P38.
 
Well Mr Smarty Pants, I will say this. After never qualifying less than expert with M1, BAR, M1919A6, M14, M60, M72-LAW, AR15C-602, M16A1, and even a 3.5RL, plus 2 years on the SBT and 1year as instructor, it wasn't my eyesight that was the problem. It was the weapon. The 1911 came out of the factory inaccurate. Poor sight picture, uneven tolerances and pitiful ammo. There was never a 1911 worth it's salt until it had been reconditioned for tolerance and used competition ammo, none of which were available when it came time to qualify. Also if you ever had to qualify with a 1911, you might remember that it always shot low at 15ft, ok at 20 and 25, and high at 30. The only folks that could consistently mark expert, were guys that could get 2 or 3 hours a week on the range, and that usually meant officers.

So if you say that you always shot expert with a 1911, I will call BS on you.:p

This is what I had to qualify under (this is the update version, I had the old mandatory 2 hits (out of 6 rounds) from 15 yards or DQ'd): http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/Content...ad-909c-9c34dff428e7/CJSTC-086ADTD110807.aspx but that was with a Glock-17. Think just about everyone switched out to the Glock-22 model now.

and my father told me that a bad workman blames his tools, a good one adapts, adjusts, and overcomes...:p on a personal note: sgt aldal used to harangue me all the time, about why i always shot the long range targets when we had the multis to tend to, and finally one day he had had all he could stand of my personal inclinations and he screamed at me basically "bentham what are u gonna do when the close up ones get closer?!!" and i did mass push ups and punishment duty for this but i hollered in as motivated a voice i could and bearing my best look of insanity i replied "wait for u to issue command to fix bayonets sergeant!!! oooh rah!!" the same man who was responsible for buttstroking jones 20 into a near coma was now standing there laughing his ass off, and i had never seen him like that before... lol

ps... that rifle had a bent barrel... sometimes u just gotta make cruddy tools work for you....
