You're a jerk, getting me addicted to those 1911's of yours  . Had a blast today. Thanks again for letting me shoot your guns and for the good conversation at lunch. Hope we can do it again sometime.
Festus let me shoot 3 of his 1911's after we had lunch at Ria's. The Colt was good, but that SA Operator was the best of the bunch and I had 0 issues firing it with my injured hand. Now, I got a damned itch to buy a 1911 after my M&P 40. |

I hate 1911s. They are like mistresses you can't get enough of or satisfy. They will sing like an angel one day and spit on you the next. Take em apart, clean em, tweak em and run em some more. Just when you think all is well, back to the smith you go.
Dang... I gotta find another one.

The weird thing is the lighter SA Operator had less recoil then the heavier 5" colt. You would figure the Colt would absorb more of it . Overall, the 45 is more manageable than I expected. I hit a good portion of the targets with a weapon that I did not sight in. I am definitely going to get a SA in the future.

Quoted:
Guns shorter so axis rests differently in your hand. It's perceived recoil you're feeling. The force of recoil is dispalcing differently than Government model. Is that the case? I have seen the opposite, I.E. I have fired a M&P 40c and it had a lot more recoil than a FS M&P 40. Is it manufacture dependent? |

I have it on good authority 92FS Beretta is the ALL TIME greatest pistol in the history of sliced bread, followed only by Glock. My 1911s are so untrustworthy, I have to keep a G19 holstered behind my POS 1911. That Festus, he'll lead you astray.

Finally the TRUTH comes out! |

Festus,
You'd do well to have me stand over your shoulder on night while doing that job. I spent 6 hours on my last checkering job that was " almost perfect." It takes a jig for first vertical and first horizontal cuts. From there it's sweat, blood and pressure on file while praying you don't "jump" a line. |

Hahaha ... yea, I know TOO ! 
Na, I was just messin' with Dave. I ain't ready to do all that just yet. I still have replaceable parts to mess up and replace, let alone something like that .

Both of you have heard me say you can't get into more trouble than I can get you out of.
Wonder why that is 
eta. We don't need to talk about it. However you're both gonna shit when you see that one done. Jason gives me a hard time about that one too. You just can't buy that kind of experience. Speakin of.... I gottago do some welding on Gary's pistol.
