    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    Kind of a loaded question. I avoid some for political reasons, some for quality reasons, some because they are overpriced and some because they don't have a feature set I like. I've sold a dozen 1911s over the years, some for the political and QC reasons. Also, for me, 1911 means .45s and...

    Franchi Affinity as an alternative to Stoeger M3000 & M3K or Benelli M2

    For some reason JT is the only one I have seen have any problems with the M3000 shell latch. I like it so much I tried to figure out if it would be feasible to modify one for use in a VM or an M2. The reduced pressure helps loading a lot, especially fast quads.

    Franchi Affinity as an alternative to Stoeger M3000 & M3K or Benelli M2

    American Marksman Amateur Shooting Competition

    In some other places, people have asked me what a competitive time is. My hunch is that if you can have a score of 30 seconds total on a sheet (3 strings, 25 rounds) you will likely qualify for regionals. I have run about a dozen people, from GMs to never shot a match, and have seen times from...

    So I prove you wrong and you circle into a different argument. Frankly, not worth my time to try and answer your rabbit track arguments.
