    Sidearms & Scatterguns cant make up my mind glock or 1911

    Re: cant make up my mind glock or 1911 when you find a glock that is still functioning accurate and ready to rock with no major breakages when it passes the 500,000 round count, I will consider one until then I will keep my 1911 and change the recoil springs out every 5,000 or so.

    Re: lighten trigger pull on Kimber 1911? Generally for an American made 1911, unless they "pulled a Kimber" on you, all you need to do to lighten the pull from infinity to 3.5# or so is to adjust the sear spring. The Jerry Kunhaussen books are considered definitive at classic, check for...
