    You're right! One of them is made out of PLASTIC!
     
    Re: 3 Centuries of Awesome!

    Sadly I don't think there are many 21st Century guns that aren't made out of plastic now.

    Every gun in that picture has a plastic part on it. I think the greatest common factor is that they are all .45's.

    That's a cool random photo. I'm guessing the wife doesn't appreciate what all those are. But us here at the 'hide do!

    The 1911 is in 10mm? Blasphemy!

    I have an HK45c. I like it, but I prefer shooting my 1911. Reminds me that I need a revolver.
     
    Re: 3 Centuries of Awesome!

    The 10mm is what the 1911 should have been chambered in from the start. Damn pistol was made to shoot that cartridge

    Ya I prefer to shoot the 1911/SAA. The HK is the carry piece and thus the one I don't give a shit about losing if I had to actually use it.

    .45acp/1911 old-school guru, Jeff Cooper, thought the 1911 was the ideal platform for the 10mm, after production problems w/ the CZ-style Bren Ten.

    Once Colt cut that small piece of metal just over at the slide stop, all the "frame-cracking" complaints disappeared. In fact, that because a design change for all subsequent calibers of Colt's Gov't model in the late '80s ...

    All that the 10mm 1911s really need are some beefing-up of the recoil-spring weight (mine runs @ 20lbs) and an EGW f.p. stop to slow slide velocity.

    Wilson's mags run great, as do some others. Can be a 9+1 capacity pistol, with the 5" tube generating awesome 10mm ballistics.
