So, I was at Wade's this evening after work, trying out a few different guns, mainly trying to decide what my next purchase will be. At the time, I was firing their Springfield "Loaded" 1911 .45ACP: I aimed at the target, pulled the trigger, and was promptly showered by shards of broken glass. :shock: The ejected shell casing had flown nearly straight up, and smashed one of the two lightbulbs above my head.
The guys at Wade's were pretty cool about it, though - they didn't even charge me for the lightbulb.
As a side note, Springfield's "Loaded" 1911-A1 is a thing of unbelievable grace and beauty. I haven't been shooting for very long, but with that gun in my hands I was able to put every single round right near the center of the target at 30 feet. It truly felt almost effortless. If I could only spare the $1100 or so, I would buy one in a heartbeat. (I'm definitely leaning towards one of Springfield's more economical 1911s right now though.)
