Best be keeping that pistol then (and the awesome gift giver).
Correction: I grossly overstated the round count. I see I attributed the round count of another 1911. This one is just over 1500.
Saturday I was shooting many reps of D2 to the Gabe School 4" circle from concealment; OWB under an open coat. 7 yards
I was comparing this performance against my RTF2 G19 and my five fastest clean runs were all with the Operator.
1.98/2.09/2.11/2.16/2.25

That's a good metric. Think about shooting the Rangemaster Core Handgun Skill Test (https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?247-Rangemaster-Tom-Givens-Handgun-Core-Skills-Test) with each gun -- I find it pretty enlightening, really well balanced.
Unfortunately there is no metric for cool and good looking; but I'm pretty sure the 1911 pushes you farther toward McQueen and away from Yeager.

Another 150 rounds ran smoothly today. Some F2S practice using a facsimile of a 4" circle. She's fast. I have to temper my right foot so to speak. Some hits some misses. Heavy for 9mm pistols are a whale of a lot of fun.

I muttered the same "way too fast" after a drill yesterday, verbatim, tone and everything. Made me grin.
Also, there's this thing called gravel.
Video, fun!

Just over 2000 rounds now and it continues to run great. It will shoot Federal 147 +P HST, Critical Duty 135 +P and 124 grain +P HST into 3-4" five shot groups that overlap each other inside the black of the B8 at 25 yards. I don't know how much tighter it will group; I'll need to find a human ransom rest to gauge that.
However, 147 standard pressure HSTs grouped high outside/above the bull.

That's interesting as I've had good accuracy in my 1911s with the standard pressure 147gr HST. But I'm probably not a good enough shooter to appreciate whether they are sufficiently accurate at 25 yards.
Glad to hear your pistol is running great.
They just impacted high, due simply to a lower velocity I assume.
It's running so well, I'm eyeballing a .45 version of the same gun in my LGS.
I shoot my Dave Sams .45 to tighter groups at 25 so I sense this Operator is not super precise. But then, I can easily turn the bushing by hand on it, and remove it to disassemble whereas on the Sams gun I need the wrench to turn the bushing and its hard as hell to do that. I've never had that bushing OFF the barrel. I tried, it won't easily so I don't.
