Good handguns

ImportConvert

I have gone on a Jihad after the 1911, and after owning a LesBaer TRS that sucked (Workmanship was CRAP! I have never seen a rougher 1911, and can post pix if you want), and a Wilson Tactical Supergrade that sucked (2 warranty return trips and a buy-back), I feel qualified to say that the 1911 just isn't as reliable as the other handguns I have owned. Oh, I tore ragged 1" holes in the targets with them, that's for sure. There were just long-pauses between the shots sometimes, and other times they would horizontally string when my Wilson's rear-sight would loosen up and begin drifting (Wilson finally got it right the 3rd time by installing their old design hand-fit. You would THINK hand-fit rear sight would be something that came standard on a $4200 pistol...but no.)

Sorry. Sound bitter? $6500 later. I am. The 1911 just ain't for me, and I try to steer others around it as well, right or wrong.

Have you thought about an LA CCW permit? Good in something like 40 or 42 states IIRC. No caliber, etc. restrictions.

On that note, I like Gold-Dots, HST, and the T-series. I also like the Barnes round. I think Federal is going to begin (have they already?) loading it in handgun rounds for LE soon. I know Corbon and Black Hills already do, but I like the ATK/Olin ammo mfr. groups.
