One of the best posts I've read regarding this subject.

So, do you use FMJ or JHP? Your message does not make clear who uses which. Not that it really matters...

I would bring Chuck Norris with me if/when I try this...

"Best trigger" = 1911

My choice would depend upon whether I was preparing to chop wood for the camp fire or in need of defending myself...

If an intruder is inside my house, I do not care if he knows I'm armed until he is struck by bullets. To hell with the sounds of chambering. If I can help it, the only sound they will hear is the muzzle blast.

Three of my preferred 1911 sites in addition to the above mentioned site: http://www.sightm1911.com/ http://usgi1911.tripod.com/ http://www.coolgunsite.com/

The 1991A1 has the series 80 firing pin block installed.
