Back from the land of the .45

Wow it's been awhile, lots of new names, Big Norm and others, glad to see that Kyrie still chimes in with his wisdom. But where the heck is Ted, changed his name again, or just on vacation?

I have been playing around with .45's. Bought a well worn Argentine Ballester-Molina, and a pristine Sistema. I reblued and regripped the B-M and it is perhaps the most reliable and powerful handgun in my inventory. The Sistema is a like-new rearsenallized Argentine cloned M1911-A1. Anyway a couple of months ago, after a particularly dismal day at the range with my S-42 Luger suffering jam after jam, I said enough is enough and put it away. Last week I got it out and replaced the main spring in probably a quarter of the time it took me to do my 1921 DWM's. Took it to the range with my "new" Sistema, and it shot beautifully, accurate and reliable, while the Sistema suffered a jam or two. So here I am back in Lugerland and enjoying it. Best to all - Bob
