"As someone who...ToddG at pistol-training.com<br /><br />"As someone who so frequently and publicly slandered the 1911 platform in general, I must admit that this gun exceeded my expectations. Even some of the most diehard 1911 fans predicted doom in 9mm. But here it is, happily on my belt, as dependable as anyone could ask for. Springfield did an incredible job putting this gun together."Knitebanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561002953208884054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-74161649458990938522013-03-25T16:26:02.026-04:002013-03-25T16:26:02.026-04:00"What Makes a 1911 Jam?"

Kind of like their hardware pre-emptively solves a whole raft of software problems I might have. <br /><br />Sold! Glock should give you a commission! <br /><br />One of these days I'll be picking up a 1911 too, 'cause they're so cool and they're funner to shoot than a Glock. <br /><br />The bedside gun's still going to be a S&W Model 10, because the only way the operator can screw <em>that</em> up is to point it in the wrong direction. As an operator who errs now and then, I like that feature.

In all that time, running approximately 5,000 rounds through it, I have had one failure to feed that was not caused by a magazine that I later determined to be defective. I'm certainly no expert (whether as a shooter or in my knowledge of guns), but I'd call that reliable. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm quite happy with my Kimber.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015544320906146949noreply@blogger.com
