I've been shooting 1911's for 50 years. I was never as good

as a lot of other people but I could shoot them well. In the last 10 years I've lost the touch. I tried the XDM 5.25 9mm last year and really shot it well. Then I got the XDM 5.25 45 ACP and wow, I can shoot accurately again. My 1911's will still make trips to the range but its not like it once was. Revolvers and single actions I can still shoot well, but 1911's, no. Things do change.
