I've got a lot more experience at fast work than JMB

for a fact. He was a great idea guy, and a fine slowfire rifle shot, but that's all. His idea of a .45 auto, the model 1905 was a disaster. Fragile, no safety lock, complicated piece of crap. It took a lot of r and D, by people who really DID know gunplay, to create the 1911. and until the 1911 got bigger sights, trigger stop, beavertail grip safety, stippled frame straps, ramped barrels, enlarged ejection port, it was/is a clunk. For ccw, it needs the Commander slide group and alloy frame, too.

neither of them does. I've shot in over 150 combat matches, 2 of them being world championships. I've carried concealed, mostly without a permit, for decades, much of it with a gov't model, more with a LWC .45. I've shot hundreds of animals with ccw guns and loads. I've had a shooting timer since 1978. JMB could have done almost none of those things.
