Fair enough. I kept track of my round counts on one 1911 untill a little past 11k, then I just stopped. I don't track any of them anymore, I'd rather just worry about training.

As much as I love 1911's and have been issued and owned them for 30+ years this article is a good example of why I don't bother with them anymore. I guess I don't love them enough.

I may have to eat my words. i just looked at a Wilson CQB the other day and Loved It. Haven't had a Wilson in quite a while. The price is out of control at $2249 though. I'm checking with Sporting Arms to see what they can offer me.

I'm also looking for prices on Nighthawk 10-8's although I think Nighthawks are even more overpriced than Wilson. I had a few CQB's 6 or seven years ago and they were problematic but i understand they are better now. The one I looked at sure is nice.
