This recently followed me home. Could not resist the Teutonic greatness of this generation of auto pistol.
Probably posted this before, but if not the P9 reminded me.

Mine is wearing wood grips these days. I need to get new pics.
Date of manufacture is 1913 according to the S/N.

2 of my late dad's: a WWII re-issued 1918 Colt 1911, and a 1942 Remington-Rand 1911A1:
:
File this under the heading “Things I didn’t know I needed until I saw it” Pretty cool, and pretty good feedback on use in training from what I can tell.
Mine came in the mail today; about a week since I ordered it, so pretty quick on shipping. Super easy to fit the pistol, and then bend the wings to wrap around and support the can. Whole process took less than five minutes…including walking out to the garage to get the heat gun!

Dan Wesson DWX I recently picked up. Swapped the trigger to the factory short version, single sided safety and LOK CZ75 full checkered thin grips. One, I didn't care for the red components. Two, I have one hand and set my 1911 style stuff up like this. Excellent pistol, lots of fun.
Ruger MK IV 22/45 lower
All VQ internals
VQ G10 grips
XBAR SR upper from Jason at Maddmacs Precision Tactical
Skeletonized bolt (1.8oz removed)
VQ lightweight recoil spring
Nikon SPUR in Maddmacs mount
Can is a re-core by ECCO Machine
One of my favorites, and carries nicely in a TacSol holster.

2 posts and the pic of the black and silver guns looked odd.
Seems to be a stock picture. Simple Google search...
So, bot? or nefarious intent or what?

Here's a couple of wheel guns. Smith & Wessons and my every day carry Staccato's, C, and CS.

Herter's .357 Magnum derringer that belonged to my granddad. He was a state health inspector in the 1960s and '70s and had been threatened on more than one occasion.
A couple of mine, the first is the big brother to yours. Put a box through it today and my wrist knows it.
Then my daily carry, a Compact 1911 in 45 ACP
Finally my favorite to shoot, a S&W N frame 625 Model of 1989 in 45 ACP, a relative rarity. Someone did a great trigger job on this, dont breathe on it too hard, very accurate and just a joy to shoot.
Brings up a question some one may be able to advise me on. I shoot to the left with every pistol I own. Since its all of them I know its me and not them. What is a likely cause of that? I use the finger tip and a good grip. Maybe a slight flinch in expectation of recoil that Im not noticing?
Usually anticipation/flinch/bad trigger control. Usually if you can fix the trigger issue, the other can be fixed with reps. I’d recommend focusing hard on dry fire. Consult the works from Ben Stoeger and similar shooters.
Using the finger tip could well push the muzzle to the side.
The finger should be placed so that it is natural to pull/press the trigger straight back. For me, depending on gun, that means either the pad of the finger, or in some cases the first joint.
