But I keep trying.

Send them this way and I will test them to make sure it's not you. Glad to be of assistance.

I'll be sure and give that some thought.

My 2 Colt 9mm's are my best shooting of all that I own!

If it is a 9mm is it really a 1911?

If it's anything but Mr. Brownings design, is it a 1911?

No...as a purist I demand they stop this nonsense....

Well, I for one am glad I'm not stuck with a spur hammer and GI sights. What do you say?

For the record, I say unless it's built exactly the way JMB designed it,regardless of who manufactures it today, it's a deviation and theoretically could be called a knock off or not a true 1911A1.

Right?

Hammers and sights don't change the basic design - "Cosmetic changes". The internals of most 1911s are close enough to JMB's original design to satisfy my purist desires.

Browning's 1911-380, however, uses a linkless design. Now that changes it to a 1911'ish pistol instead of a true 1911. Kinda ironic that Browning's own "1911" isn't.

Agreed. I personally don't mind a little deviation, just don't like the "tactical" crap they put on 1911 clones.

And yet I just had a milspec parked ww2 with gi sights internals replaced to race gun performance and prefer to carry it over all the other 1911's, including the Ed Brown Kobra Carry worth 4 times the milspec.
