Bricktop,

I don't see the need to come up with any credible evidence to disprove your statements because, again, I've got no experience with Rock Islands, and I'm not saying you're wrong. You may be 100% spot on in your opinions as to the quality and long term reliability of Rock Islands. If you could present some credible evidence to support your opinions it would certainly be useful to any members here on the Fire who decide they want to purchase a $500 1911.

I don't have any opinions on Rock Islands either way. You say they suck. All you've got to do is back that statement up bro. Surely you can do that???

Then goodbye.

Is that the best you can do Bricktop? Who's more credible, a guy who admits he has no opinon regarding a product, or a guy who has a strong opinion that's based on zero credible data, testing, or anything else. An internet tiger with no teeth is indeed an apt description of Bricktop.

Thanks for once again proving you bring nothing but a foul mouth and little else to this site.

I offered to video the destruction of my RIA. Heat in my forge and beat flat on my anvil if he had proof. I would even send him the results of the RIA's trip to my forge but all I got is because he said so. I too would like some data.

BRICKTOP said it on the internet so it must be so

You're utterly full of shixt. You were the one who made the charge that RIA's are soft steel. You are the one who continue to not back up what you said. I didn't read through all KG's stuff, but he did post some things countering what you said. Post some hard numbers to back up your charge of soft steel or remain the uncouth assclown you appear to be. I don't personally give a [bleep].

You leavin'? Well...bye.

I thought you had no opinion.

Absolutely. If everyone else can use that as the basis for their "proof," then why can't I? And why is everyone so scared to contact some of the 1911 pistolsmiths I've mentioned -- who've supplied me with my PROOF? Too scared they won't tell you rubes what you want to hear?

Then hit the f*ckin' road, too.

Reading really IS fundamental. Mostly mental, where you're concerned.

From what I've read, the STI Spartans are built on the Armscor pistols, which is why I was wondering....................

One thing to disagree but how about lightening up on the language and personal slams. Foul language only shows lack of vocabulary that is related to a poor education and poor upbringing.

The Handgun Forum has always been a civil place. No need to get personal.

Scott, I'm with you, but I've concluded that Bricktop wouldn't know civil if it bit him on the backside.

Bricktop, you saying some gunsmith has supplied you with proof really doesn't mean a damn thing, now does it? Show us the proof bud, shouldn't be hard to do. I'll continue to wait for your proof.

I'm a self-made assh*le. Neither my folks nor my Alma mater are to blame. ColeYounger's situation is different, I'm sure.

Overcome your fear of actual interaction with other adults, or just adults in your special case, and get off your ass and make some calls in the morning, little man. It's not hard to do. For most of us.

Bricktop, I don't need to make any calls because I didn't say Rock Islands are crap. You said that, now prove it. The personal attacks are a typical fall back position when you've got nothing. But hey, show us the proof and we'll lay off. Let's see the proof bud.

I thought you didn't care.

Don't have to prove anything. If you're wanting to disprove my statements -- and that's exactly what you're wanting to do -- then get off your ass and do so. Why the fear of interaction? Are you not allowed to talk to strangers? Yes, your personal attacks are a fall back position for someone who has nothing -- and that's exactly what you've got. I gave you a couple of names of firms, but you're too afraid to call. Either afraid of interaction -- very typical of the socially-inept little people who seek to harangue me -- or afraid you're not going to hear what you want to hear.

Bricktop, I'm not trying to disprove anything. I'm asking you to submit proof in support of your statements that Rock Islands are soft and no self respecting gunsmith will do custom work on them. If you can't present proof to support your opinions, then by god don't ever demand that any other poster on this site do the same when they state an opinion.

Did I make a personal attack on you? Can you show us where I made a personal attack beyond saying you're full of bs? Is that a personal attack if it's true? Calling me socially inept, that's a bit childish, isn't it. Is that really the best you can do?

This has been fun Bricktop, I look forward to doing it again in the future.

I agree. When the discussion turns into insults and swearing that's when I drop out to read only if I'm interested.
