“Much more reliable”!
What hell have you been smoking?
I don’t own a 1911. I have spent years reading people discussing how they sand this, tweak that, and need to fire XXX (or XXXX) rounds before trusting it. I’ve watched folks at the range struggling to get one to shoot consistently even 20 rounds.
I prefer my revolvers. But my S&W Shield and Beretta Pico are shooting great without tweaking. My experience with the Pico is a bit out of the ordinary, but I’ve met a lot of folks with Shields and Glocks who are waiting for their first FTF or FTE...
I understand old school. I carry a 686 more often than the Shield, and I may sell the Shield as having no role to play. I also carry a J-frame frequently. But the new polymer guns ARE proving very reliable.
Dont see a problem with his stmt. The 1911 is far less reliable than modern tupperware guns....and its less flexible, needs more maintenance and WAY more expensive to make.
