Does anyone else on the board not like 1911's?

[redmax51]

Didya ever try Smith & Wesson?

I love mine!

Yes ,I had a 1911PD and it broke the slide stop in 2 pieces in the middle of a string.Eric told me he's seen it before and S&W would replace it.I replaced it with a Wilson stop but the gun had let me down so I sold it.Too bad because it was my favorite 1911.It was light and accurate.I could forgive a failure to feed or failure to eject but a catastrophic failure that takes you out of the fight I won't.

can't go wrong with a kimber 1911.

Unless you caught them between one of their 4 external extractor re-designs.

Maybe we need to start a new thread. Does anyone on the board not like Glocks?

Lets make fun of Sigs.

That ain't cool. Would have been interested in inspecting that one... my first inclination would be a bad SS... and or a poorly fit barrel or hood causing it to twist and torque I would guess... interesting though... don't see many SS failures (at least not that I'm aware of).

True.

Aww... that ain't that bad... just heavy as a boat anchor.

The 1911PD Safety and Slide Stop were the two weakest parts of the original pistol. They were sub-contracted parts. Smith claims to have corrected the issue. I still don't care for any of the external extractor models .... excpt for the old LLama's ...

 

[pinkhamr]

BTW, I still like the Detonics .... all three companies put out some fine pistols. Now, if they would just stay in business for a while ... LOL

Fair enough.

The 1911PD Safety and Slide Stop were the two weakest parts of the original pistol. They were sub-contracted parts.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if they didn't sub-contract all of the small parts.
