Thanks, Tom. Is a Bohler barrel a quality part?

I doubt you could find a better replacement barrel than a Bohler... unless it is custom made. They are good stuff.

Thanks, Marc and John. The members of this Forum sure are generous with their knowledge. Lugers as a class of weapons are quite complicated for a simple 1911 guy.

Eric,
I can't agree; there are as many or more ins and outs of the 1911, IMO.

Historical pistols have a myriad of differences, as do their parts- and they are not numbered to help determine if original to the pistol or not.

Fast forward to today, and the endless variety and variable qualities and configurations of pistols, sights, barrels, calibers, etc- and there is no end to 1911 variation!

Simple indeed.

Correct, Don, there are a lot of modern 1911s out there but they're not the least complicated to me due to the years I've spent with them. I can't say the same for the early 1911s since I wasn't interested in the collecting end of things but in shooting them. As you say, not having a parts numbering system like the Luger makes it harder to know what you're getting.

On the other hand, the Luger is a whole new thing to me and trying to wrap my head around so much makes them complicated seeming. Someday I hope to get to the point in my Luger experience where I'll look back to this time and chuckle at how it could have seemed so complicated.

For instance, why is the German word "gesundheit" on the thumb safety since I believe it means health?
