No clarification is needed; it's written in plain English. You are welcome to rephrase it if you desire; however, it won't change the fact that the 1911 is one of the best pistols ever made.
I don't get it. Are you just looking for an argument? TunnelRat was reporting his experience with the 1911 pistol. As much as you might want to, you can't change what he experienced. He offered pros and cons about the gun. The 1911 may well be "one of the best pistols ever made" (at least in your mind it is), but, like all firearms (including Glock ) and most every other contraption devised by the hand of man, it's not perfect. You shouldn't need other people's total agreement with your opinion to validate it.
