    CZ bought out Dan Wesson

    Rationalization I see that the rationalization has started in ernest. "Which Bob Serva himself has promised to maintain and expand" What a joke. As any employee knows that has been on the bought out side of a merger, what Bob says means absolutely NOTHING. It's not up to Bob. He...

    CZ bought out Dan Wesson

    It is nothing personal. It is just BUSINESS. "CZ-USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company, Ceska Zbrojovka a.s. Uhersky Brod, (CZUB) of the Czech Republic." Very interesting. I was an employee at a company during one of these mergers and have watched friends at other...

    Your favorite money pit?

    Hi All: One of my '1911 project guns in 9mm'. Here is a Springfield that Jim Hoag did for me in the very early 1990s for Steel Challenge shooting. Picture 1: Hoag's black oxide combat finish. Original slide stop still parkerized. Kings trigger. Checkered front strap that I...

    Your favorite money pit?

    Hi All!! Jim Hoag Norinco 1911 .45acp: I married a Chinese girl and I am a devout 1911 fan. I figured, if anybody should have a Chinese 1911 it should be me. Back when the guns first started being imported, Jan Libourel wrote a glowing report on the gun in the now defunct...

    Got digital camera!!!

    tatters: If you have a Windows computer with ME or better you have Microsoft Image Editor. You can use it to resize your image for posting to the internet. It is very possible that your camera also came with software for your computer to resize pictures. There are many software...

    Tangfoglio Witness 1911?

    Educated Guess: That gun is made in the Philippines by Armscore. It is too much of a coincidence that the trigger is identical to Armscore's. The guns are already imported into the USA under the names of RIA, Armscore and Charles Daly. Stainless.

    Tangfoglio Witness 1911?

    PawDaddy: This is a new one on me. I did a search on Yahoo and came up with nothing. Where did you hear this? Is there a web sight you can point me to? Went to their North America web sight. http://www.eaacorp.com/index.shtml Nothing there. My guess: It doesn't exist or hasn't...

    Why aren't 1911 pistols the cheapest pistols made?

    Strange market forces going on here that I do not understand. I can buy a totally bitchen industrial grade 3/4" hammer drill for a fraction of the cost for a 1911. The drill has a very intricate motor and precision bearings, not to mention the hammer mechanism which requires...

    Wollff ammo? whats the consensus?

    cordex: Cordex - "Don't be that guy". You know, the one in the TV advertisements. You went out and did a search for the other brands. Do one for Wolf. There are at least six different gun forums out there that I regularly go to. Many have a section just for ammunition. Go find...

    Wollff ammo? whats the consensus?

    Without the right 'tools', some jobs just can't be done. Statistics is a tool that the scientific community uses to look at the big picture. Simply a way of looking at the forest without getting confused by the individual trees. While there are problems posted about other brands...

    Wollff ammo? whats the consensus?

    It obviously requires more than common sense to be the plant engineer or he wouldn't be on the payroll making more money than just about everyone else. It will also require more than common cense to fix Wolf's quality problems. It will require a degreed engineer using tools like...

    Wollff ammo? whats the consensus?

    444 For awhile, I will refrain from responding until the Wolf propenents post something NEW, other than the same old tired: I haven't had any problems, therefore there isn't a problem. Stainless.

    Wollff ammo? whats the consensus?

    Minute_Of_Torso: No offence taken. As one engineer to the other, I guess this is a Mexican standoff. You say the burden of proof is on me and I say the burden of proof is on you. Fine, I can live with that even if I do misspell peer. My point is that this thread is one of MANY...
