Default Kimber Stainless TLE at the Range

I got a chance to get to the range today. Brought my 5" Kimber Stainless TLE II, one of my favorite 1911s. I shot the Kimber with 230 grain Magtech FMJ loads and some Hornady 230 grain TAP XTP loads. Two hundred more rounds and still no jams. So far that 772 rounds jam-free from the box. I love this thing.

Here are two groupings at 10 yards and 20 yards:

I like seeing small groups shot with the 1911.

Good work.

Thanks guys. I was annoyed with myself with the three out of the A zone with the 20 yard target.
