+1 on the above, regarding Daryl.

They are a great design and when well made, can be both exceedingly reliable, and accurate.
As long as I'm able to (legally or physically), I will not be without a 1911 pistol .......... or 3.

I remember, back in the early days of IPSC (1980's and 90's), we used to fire 100+ rounds of .45 ACP ammo, every Sunday.
We would do this most Sundays (45 to 50 times a year), so we were shooting 5,000 rounds of Major power factor handloads, every year.
Most of these where Standard Exersizes, which taught you how to shoot, and shoot both Accurately and Fast.

Almost forgot to say, thanks for sharing Ripp.

Regards
Homer
