    I meant to ask how you like the grip tape.
    Only two men ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Defend your rights or lose them forever.

    Well after 8 hours of running this gun in the dust and drit today with sweaty hands, i can now say i like the grip tape aalot. Checkering is now in the near future

    Also, the instruct who has a wilson 1911 did a demo that i almost started clapping and yelling amen. It went as follows:

    Ken (instructor): "whats this" (hold 1911 by the end of the slide in the air, looks like a hatchet)
    Me and a couple others: "a tool"
    Ken: "exactly, some of you are scared to get dirty, if thats the case put you gun in the safe and LEAVE IT THERE".
    Me in my head "amen brother"
    Ken: "this is a tool, get it dirty" *turns around and throws it like a baseball at the dirt and rock backstop about 25 feet away, it sinks into the soft soil. he walks over picks it up and*
    Ken" get it dirty, beat the hell outa it, it should still RUN" * he then throws it on the ground one last time, chambers a round and fires a magazine through it.*

    thought that was good stuff.
    "The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
