Please don't take this the wrong way hammerAR, but until you have the knowledge and experience as some of the top trainers and experts in the firearms industry such as Larry Vickers(who is one of the premier 1911 experts and pistolsmiths), I'll consider what you said. You are not Larry Vickers, he has earned the right to be respected, and until you are him then you are just an admiring parrot!
Also if you consider Hk and glock fancy something is wrong with your perception of them. Hk and glocks are service pistols.
Again, not paying attention while playing intraweb commando, I was referring to your statement about 1911's - "people will start bringing up full customs and certain examples".......I more than clearly stated "when Hk or Glock has been on the battle field as long, wide, and reliably as the GI 1911, then I will consider what you said......." and I stand by that!.......
I like 1911 as much as anyone heck I used to have a few, I understand there is some nostalgia and character to them, but I won't let that cloud the cons of running a 1911 platform. You shoot what ever the hell you want to, I do and I am here because of it! You are doing well for a 4-poster....
First it is clear that I struck a nerve with you. Second, I never claimed,said or even referenced anything whatsoever that I even remotely had any experience anywhere near Mr. Vickers. That is just asinine.
This thread topic was about reliability. Do you disagree with Larry Vickers? Do you disagree with other professionals?
I see you got a little fired up and resorted to calling me internet commando and a parrot. Hmm seems kinda silly since all I stated was a fact and other experts have said similar things and had similar experiences. If following advice and agreeing with professionals in this area is considered a parrot then so be it. Ill be one gladly.
I am interested to hear about your disagreements with the experts in the industry and see what enlightenment you can bring besides the same famous" 1911s have been putting our enemies down for the last 100 or so years". I am glad you like 1911's they are a great platform. Like I mentioned earlier I like them as much as anyone but realize there pros and cons.
Also what does my post count have to do with a thread about reliability. One more thing, I think it is funny how your avatar is a parrot.
Thanks and have a great night.
