Understood and appreciated.
But,
Recall that the Germans learned in 1939 & 1940 Russia that too precise engineering tolerances can bring-on other troubles.
I admittedly have shot few 1911’s in the past 45 years; but before that, I shot them frequently for decades, since childhood. All were Colts of one variety or another, and all functioned fairly well with ball ammo. Any accuracy problem was my fault.
When I was around 12, I was taught to strip & reassemble 1911’s and by 14 or 15 was completely disassembling, trouble shooting, & reassembling them.
No, I am not a gunsmith, and use pros for all work for the past half-century.
An old friend, a precision machinist who once built & tuned .45ACP & .38 Super 1911’s for the U S Navy’s competition pistol teams; has told me that he liked to do builds from NORINCO’s. I have never heard much good about any NORINCO product, but he insists that they had good basic components.
Anyway, the widely disparate asking prices for superficially similar 1911’s of today caused me to inquire here.
So, I was just asking of those more expert than I about the topic. I don’t have any dog in this fight and didn’t intend to cause an uproar.
I only have three .45’s left and rarely carry or shoot them. We plan to build a back yard range, and will likely do more shooting soon. I have some really old ammo which needs to be fired.
Thanks to all for their sincere comments & advice.
