Brucev, well said sir in spades. This topic has popped up in two other boards that I frequent. I believe that the dividing line is when a younger shooter hits about 45. Prior to that glocks and other pistols of that ilk are what they live by. By the time they hit 45 they come to realize that there is something different out there. And it ain't sex. Its the 1911 platform that has been around for over 100 years. Its almost when a person has found religion. I knew a good dentist who only shot the 92fs at steel plate matches, he did this for years. Then one day he shows up with two 45's. I said to him "found a new religion have we" big smile on his face. Frank
