. . . I am a former Marine and while serving in Beirut a mud covered (submerged in mud actually just seconds prior) 1911 saved my young rear end. As I pulled it up I was praying that I had more than just 1 shot coming. The gun feed and functioned as JMB designed, while both dispatching the bad guy and saving my life. Nice loose tolerances and a fantastic design allowed function in some of the worse conditions you could have...so since that time I have always been shy about rail jobs because I already knew first hand that reliable funtion comes first, mechanical accuracy 2nd....but that is just my perspective...
Stories like James' above bring smiles to this former 2111's face. We worked on weapons as if our green brothers' lives depended on them -- because they did.

Resistance is NOT futile. Resistance is Voltage divided by Current.
