I would like to see a DLC or TIN finish on their 1911's. The Cerakote finish is garbage. We spend hard earned beans for these guns, a kydex holster as well as an ejected case should not be able to inflict the damage to finish that they are causing. Seams to be thick rattle can crap!
I would not own any S&W produced in the last 10 years. As far as striker fired guns go, if that is your thing,rock on. Modern day mim parts are not an issue on light duty firearms as far as I can tell.
just because the box says 1911 does not make it so.
1911 handguns do not have external extractors.
I do enjoy my SA 1911's, but i just don't get the Cerakote finish. It is nothing more than thick paint. Shows holster wear, dings at ejection port and any other unplanned bump or scrape.
So I would agree with your must haves but add DLC or TIN finish. Even Parkerized would be better than SA's...
Funny thing with me is, I am obsessed with rules. My stress does not originate with performance but rather focuses on strict adherence to the rules. It is a curse, I shoot very well but get caught up in the "do and don'ts" to the point of poor performance at times.
If available in your area, shoot a steel plate challenge, you against the clock. Tons of fun. You will find that the best shooters are also the most accessible to ask for pointers, pun intended. Lol
Great option for all of the Glock owners looking for a gun to use with their Glock Mags. "That should get the fan boys going".. LoL.
Just poking fun, I hear good things about the Platypus, hope it serves you well friend. Congrats on the new addition.
Take any major fireworks manufacturer, they have great confidence that a commercial grade mortar produced by thier qualified assemblers will perform as expected when combined with a well qualified group of technicians and safety crew at a 4th of July production.
The reason that manufacturer will...
