As I told you in my email my father had a Llama 1911 that jammed about every other shot, on a good day. We did all the polishing, trips to the gunsmith, and still never got it to function reliably. This was back when I was just a small child, and is the basis for my very deep seeded hatred of all things 1911. I have started to come around as of late, I have always liked the look. But unless you have a bundle of money to spend on a proven name you usually get junk, and even sometimes after spending the cash on a proven name you get junk, it's a lousy design to begin with. I don't know what John M. Browning was thinking, splitting the feed ramp between the frame and barrel instead of putting the entire thing on the barrel. Anytime two pieces of metal meet you get a transition that while it may not look or feel like much to the naked eye, or touch of a finger, you must consider the speed at which the fresh round encounters this lip in the feed ramp. I think I will continue my search for an effective carry gun in an area other than 1911's, maybe the sub-compact Springfield XD in .40cal. Thanks for taking the time to respond, and thanks for the info on what it took to get a reliable piece. As for a range trip, I'm always up to shoot something, anything. I'm not sure of your locale, but I'm in North Cuba(Miami,FL).TL671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-90909500871843996672012-01-11T20:39:06.112-05:002012-01-11T20:39:06.112-05:00Thats sweet looking but sounds like a whip..stumbl...Thats sweet looking but sounds like a whip..stumbled across your Blog and really enjoy it from Teaxs!!The Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867171903469409466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-74117862500542911122012-01-11T17:49:36.023-05:002012-01-11T17:49:36.023-05:00It goes bang EVERY TIME.It goes bang EVERY TIME.JB Millerhttp://themillermeister.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2985287502362877219.post-46013439835126700172012-01-11T07:59:20.810-05:002012-01-11T07:59:20.810-05:00As long as it works when the trigger is pulled.As long as it works when the trigger is pulled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
