In reply to your response:
"The edges on a Springfield are not as sharp as you folks are letting on. The edges are square, yes, but not sharp.
I myself have carried a 1911A1 stock, concealed, IWB, Mexican, tucked etc - with ZERO problems... No cuts. No Tears. No blood. Not even a scratch.If one is as soft as to find the Springfield too harsh - I suggest some work in the
fields to toughen up those danty pattycakes."
FYI, I spent many a hard day as a ranch hand, and quite a few years in the Infantry- hands are definitely up to the task. I find it humorous though that because the weapon YOU OWN is of perfection surpassed by nothing, and being that since I bought a Springfield 1911 that it must be my imagination that it could have sharp edges. Please! I might not be an author of a gun rag, nor an expert by some definition, but I can say I have actively handled firearms of many types for over fifteen years, and yet have I encountered one that has such "SHARP" if not squared edges.
I am not trying to get in a pissing match with you as this is the best forum, but I feel you should do more research or question asking before responding with an immature response.
I don't know how else to prove what I say, but if asking a question on your board is going to result in a degrading or humiliating response, then I guess I will have to try and find a second best. I feel for those who don't have a lot of firearm experience and try asking for the experience of others, just to be slammed by a posting such as yours. Oh well, someone has to troll- Regards, Gunhound
