1911 abuse !

[KDUBCR250]

Interesting, and confusing, as I was darn certain only those european plastic guns could do thattttt!- I thought 1911s were all jam-o-matics intolerant of the slightest harsh conditions!!!! Too bad the 1911's reliability isn't backed up by non-scientific internet tests, it'll just have to settle for nearly 100 years of combat service ! http://www.advancedtactical.com/sweeneyarticle.pdf

That's why my Springfield 1911 makes me all warm and fuzzy, tried and true
goes bang when you need it most!

nearly 100 years of constant production and you would expect less?

I want one....bad. I went to Elmore's this afternoon to price the RIA's. They don't even carry them. I was told there were too many problems with them. Hogwash.... Perhaps just not enough profit margin.

I read JB's autobiography last year...twice. The military trial that the 1911 went throught was ruthless. It took a team of guys to rapid fire, and load magazines. When the gun got too hot to hold it was dunked in a bucket of water. The pistol went through 6000 rnds of normal ammo, followed up with with abnormal rounds. Bullets seated too shallow or too deep.

"Nothing stopped the pistol, no part broke, and a long, painstaking examination under a magnifying glass failed to detect any sign of a crack or of battering." pg. 199 John M. Browning : American Gunmaker

This book is a definite read. Truely amazing. I would be happy to load it out to anyone interested. Keyword LOAN. I want it back when your finished.

I was in there late this afternoon and it was too busy to get help!!! I didnt ask, I'll be over there again next week.... I was looking to possibly trade my Kimber SS Gold Match in for either a Warrior or a CDP for carry, my TLE is slowing me down....

I would hate to see some of the modern pistols put thru the same tests as the 1911 was.....
