Wags here, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been into firearms all my life, and thought I knew a lot until I started doing professional training ten years or so ago. It was at that point that I realized how much I DIDN'T know! I now have over 800 hours of training under my belt from Gunsite Academy (over 15 classes),and I've taken a class with Rob Pincus, in all different platforms, and have become a certified NRA instructor myself to bring more people into the sport and lifestyle. The 1911, in my humble opinion, is by far, the finest pistol in all of the Pistol platforms. I'm always willing to learn more and hear different opinions.
