Some Comments & Questions on Ammo

Until Clinton stopped importation of arms from China, Norinco was making an excellent copy of the Government 1911A1. The 1911A1 model is being made in the Philippines and Brazil today and it has to be the most copied handgun ever made with the possible exception of the Colt black powder pistols. It can be loose as a goose for combat or as tuned as the best thoroughbred for target or competition shooting. A very good friend of mine used to turn out "working" .45's for police officers..... as reliable as the sun coming up and as accurate as a target pistol.

I love the Luger. The balance and feel of the Luger is simply perfection and with a six inch slender barrel it just plain oozes sex appeal. In .30 caliber it can be very reliable and accurate.

BUT, when I think my life may be on the line, I'll have my 1927 Argentine Colt in hand. My heart is with the Luger but my head tells me that the 1911 is a better pistol for serious business.
