There are a very few pistols that a person who has never shot a pistol can pick up and do well with. The 1911 is one of them.

There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

View Quote The Emperor's choice! What gets me about the OP's posted abortion is that they did whatever the 1911 version of Tapco-fucking is to that pistol, and then didn't stick a dot on it. Shame, shame, shame. (Albeit, I am looking into sticking a dot on mine, though it'll be a biggun', and the amount of machining required is more than a little annoying.) |

The sheer amount of bullshit and maintenance to keep them running as a duty pistol... I do wonder if anyone would bother to continue using them in precision pistol if the .45 requirement was removed. |

As it stands the wear concern is something I’m researching as I don’t know if it’s an actual issue or not. Hell, why couldn’t I just anodize the frame myself? |
