The stainless hand held naval gun? to shoot a mere 45 ACP?? and how, by adding weight to the dust cover, waaaay in front of the frame stress points? Sorry, I am not buying this. Less machining= less expensive to manufacture. Also, the square trigger guard went with the -1, and that was pure evil in my book. Everyone's millage may vary, but if I were given the choice, no dash for ever.  |
Its always been my understanding the switch to the -1 was largely to integrate the 10 mm slide/frame contours and make the large frame guns one standard set of parts. That explains the greater weight of the -1, to help control the 10 mm recoil
