But "perfection", I don't really think so!<br /><br />The Glock and glockoffs are similar to AKs in that they are not maintenance intensive. But in the last 5 years I have seen five of them dynamically disassembled. I have also seen them fail in competition and in training.<br /><br />The M1911, much maligned by the Gen X folks, is fussy by comparison. But, I also know that somewhere in deepest, darkest Pakistan, a few US SF guys with bad attitudes and M1911s are looking for OBL.<br /><br />Nothing is perfect with the exception of God. And, we will not see Him again on this side of the veil. Maybe He will forgive you for mocking him G26IDPA. Or maybe that is why He is moving you to Chicago!Oberstlthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007575009275029477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818597834396041671.post-45608981446291135872009-07-31T11:28:23.386-04:002009-07-31T11:28:23.386-04:00Ahh!

And that's where the owner tinkering comes in I think. 1911's seem to lend themselves more to "gunsmithing"...DS.308https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292490846602882210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818597834396041671.post-7339537155435846232009-07-31T10:31:04.967-04:002009-07-31T10:31:04.967-04:00I agree whole heartedly!

BUT...... some guns.... not brand, do seem to give more people trouble than others, even though they are shot in a division (CDP) that is not the largest populated division........ bad reloading, whatever........<br /><br /><br />AGlock26idpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693794693731377149noreply@blogger.com
