Well, we'll try again. Your "preference" is just that, and we have no argument. To go on; however, and say that your preference is the one that will stand up to your intended purpose, is to imply that others will not.
That is pure unadulterated BS and based on YOUR misconceptions and warped view of things. Nothing was implied but what you and your minions chose to imply.
We know that a cast Ruger Bisley, can be made into a pretty awesome magnum, whereas a forged Colt SAA cannot compete, strength wise.
First it was Ruger, now it's Colt. Why/how in the hell did Colt get dragged into this? You've already determined that you know more than Clark Custom Guns. You are just a veritable cornucopia of knowledge, aren't you?
As for buying what we want, I couldn't agree more. My series 70 1911 Gold Cup is a wonderful piece that served well for several years and thousands of rounds in competition. Not all my "Colt" 1911s have been trouble free. Some broke. Some didn't work perfectly from the factory. Though they are normally wonderful guns, they are not; however, worth the prices demanded, based on the Colt name alone, except to those for whom "Name" alone is paramount.
Well thank you very much for being so magnanimous. You make disparaging statements and imply that Colt firearms aren't up to your standards. WGAS. Tell it to those that care to listen to you and your regurgitated nonsense. As for the "Name" alone is paramount BS, it appears that you're in the bunch that are the name/attention whores.
