More bullets.I love them, never have figured out what about the High Power is supposed to be such an improvement.

Pop quiz: Do you know the reason why the 1911/A1 has grip screw bushings in the first place??
^^^ What he said.44 AMP said:Parts must be hand fitted? Total BS, at least in regard to guns made to USGI specs.
The issue is real when dealing with guns and parts NOT made to GI specs. Everybody and their Uncle Max is making a "1911" of some kind now days, and they are NOT being made to the original specs, different makers change the specs on some parts, calling them "improvements" or "proprietary designs" so those parts don't fit with other companies products, but some people think that is a flaw in the original design. Its not, never was, can't be. Its a flaw in the production of guns called 1911, but not made to those specs.
I was an Army Small Arms repairman while the M1911A1 was the primary service pistol. GI parts are all "plug and play" NO FITTING REQUIRED. This was INTENTIONAL. If a part needed to be hand fitted, it was defective, and it was trashed and replaced with a part that would drop in and work without any fitting.
Many different private companies made part for the GI 1911A1s during WWII, but they were required to make them to GI specs AND had govt inspectors checking the parts. Modern private companies don't have to do that, and many simply don't.
The fun thing to remember about John M. Browning's iconic 1911 is that he made an improved version called the Browning/FN HiPower P-35.
At the risk of pulling the thread further off topic, the fastest most amazing trigger reset of all the pistols I own and have shot has to currently be the Tisas Zigana "K". I swear that rest on it is simply a thought.By threads on forums, the 92 and Sig P series with a lot more service hour use over a greater amount of time (I could be wrong)...all be no interest anymore.
The Sig STR trigger is probably the fastest resetting trigger and that's the "feature" to aspire to today.
Aren't we a finicky creature.
The Zigana "F" & "K" models are about the same size as the Sig 226 and 220. A little wider but DA/SA and the safety is also a decocker. The reset is both audible and tactile but I swear the trigger itself can't move more than a hair width. And with an MSRP under $300.00 might be even less expensive than my Sig P series were all those decades ago.I thought Walther had the best by a long shot.
When I picked up my P226 Elite with SRT, I can see I was way wrong. It's a thought too. Just think without feeling a release, reset. Crazy.
I don't like the look of the rest of the pistol, but that front slide profile very aesthetically pleasing. Forward serrations ruined the look of slides
Cheap ones let me down. This time I'm thinking of a Colt Lightweight Commander.
