Default Comparison 45 ACP: Revolver v. Pistol

Both shot at 14 yards with 230 grain JHP Hornady TAP+P XTP loads:

The picture of the 22-4's target is odd because I forgot to get a pic at the range and had to get a screenshot of the target from the video.

The E-series really surprised me. It out shoots my Gold Cup Trophy. I want the Scandium bobbed grip one like you have for my next 1911.

I absolutely love mine and now I just got the colt wiley clapp commander that I didnt get to take out today, but I am afraid it might try and compete with my bobtail e series scandium for carry time. I started carrying my full size e series for a while but went back to the scandy and now this colt is here....oh the decisions.....people dont believe how accurate the e-series 1911s are. Mine are shooting machines...

i think the .45 ACP cartridge is one of the best revolver cartridges EVAH.
I have a 3 inch 625 and a 1955 Target.
Plus a Ruger Convertible and all three of them are just spooky accurate.

How happy are you with that 325?
It has an alloy frame, right?
I like my 625 but it weighs a ton.
