Granted, the 1911 is a great gun, but how come 95% of the magazines I pick up highlights some new 1911, are magazine editors hard up for topics?
Yeah I got it, Wilson combat, nighthawk customs, les baer arere great. Kimber, Springfield, and colt are cool too. But aside from crummy metallurgy, or lack of firing pin safety, even beveled edges, its the same damned guns.
I like them, but seriously... A 1911 picture is the same as any other 1911 pic. And a two to four page article in every damned magazine to highlight a reverse plug barrel, or a tactical rail is a bit redundant.
How about a two page article on an H&K P30, or an FN, or even a glock 30 full auto, a beretta full auto, or how to shoot a big bore revolver properly. Hell I would even like to see the proper way to make a beretta 92 "trip fire"
But nnnnooooo...let's eat up half a magazine because STI made a gussied up 1911 with a compensator or Kimber rounded off a couple Sharp edges.
Hell the way their made now, 1911s are too tight in the tolerances anyway, they misfeed certain ammo, the wear on the barrel loop holder takes a Beating from the light slide springs, and on and on. I gutted my Taurus pt1911 and took a pic, and sent it to a buddy so he could point out the parts that made my gun worth 750.00 and a les baer worth 2000-3000$. Couldn't find the 1200- 2300.00 parts anywhere.
Enough with 1911s. They're cool, but not THAT cool.
