Springfield Armory Combat Operator 9MM

I've had this pistol for awhile now but with work and all time just hasn't been there to shoot it. The last couple of weeks have been our annual qualifications at work and I decided to take it out and shoot it. The first 50 rounds through it was on our qualification course. After that I managed to put another 250 rounds through it with no issues. I had one Wilson magazine that gave me a couple of issues but the other magazines to include a couple of Colt 9MM magazines worked just fine. This is my third 1911 in 9MM and like the other two it just makes you smile. There are a couple of issues with the pistol but they are me and will be corrected. Like my TRP and other pistols from SA with a checkered front strap the bottom has some sharp points, a little file took care of that. I also don't especially care for the frame color but who know it might grow on me. The thing shoots POA/POI for the most part though I didn't do any in depth test of that. The ammo shot consisted of American Eagle 124 grain training ammo and Winchester 124 grain +P duty ammo. No issues with either except for the one magazine which leads me to believe the magazine is the culprit. I plan on putting some more rounds through it in the next couple of week work permitting. I know everyone likes pictures so here she is with a target with 100 rounds or so through it. I am looking forward to the 45 ACP version of this pistol, maybe I will have grown to like the gray frame. Of course I do know someone who does an amazing Cerekote job so that might happen soon.
