I am no authority on these weapons, but a big time enthusiast who recognizes fact from nonsense. Every endeavor has enthusiasts and they all share stories, be it cars, fast women, gambling, sports, or what have you. What I have learned to recognize is people who know what they are talking and the others that are blowing smoke. Most of the talk about the 1911 type pistol is just that - talk, and worth exactly what you paid for it, i.e., nuthin. I'm glad we have real authorities about these weapons who show up and share their hard won expertise with us enthusiasts. Such men as 1911Tuner, Jim Keenan, Old Fuff, Richard Heinie, the late Brian Bilby, and Gale MacMillan gave out advice and still do despite the doubting Thomases who would sometimes try the patience of a saint. To all you guys, a big Thank You! from BigG Anybody I missed, it wasn't intentional!
