1911 Parts
How 'bout...Let's start by takin' the link out of the 1911 and go shoot it. You may be shocked to see that it works just fine.
The link is redundant. Commanders won't do this trick
due to different geometry on the lower barrel lug.
Then take the extractor out of a GI-spec gun, and shoot it with
true "GI Hardball" ammo or the faithful equivalent, and you may
be even more shocked to discover that the empty brass
will get out and the gun will return to battery without it.. You
may not even get a stovepipe stoppage for several magazines,
and then just on the last round. Want to make it work every time,
last round and all? Use a magazine with a round-topped follower.
Lose the slidestop during an emergency field-strip? Nadda
problemo...Just whittle a stick down to fit and stick it through the
hole. The gun should be good for about 200 rounds with that
"Expedient Emergency Field Repair".
Handy! Kudos, lad! I was wondering if anyone else had the
logic to see through the Marshall/Sanow "definitive" study.
So many take it as gospel, that I've stopped arguing the point.
Cheeeeeeers!
