    200 more rounds of ball for a frustrating total of ...4999 (again, it is more than that, but that's all I have written down.)


    I ran it through 21 and 30 foot el prez drills on my 5 inch plates. Then I did walkback drills all the way to 40 yards (where I run out of space). It's an amazing piece and just runs and runs. Although I am not a fan of the sight profile, it is conducive to accurate distance shots.


    You know, the older I get, the more I drift towards the classics. I am sure some of it is nostalgia, but to some degree these weapons really haven't been superseded. The 870 is an incredible home defense weapon, the 1911 is a top-drawer gunfighting pistol, and the .38 is about as handy a gun as can be found.

    Of course, I still have my ARs, and my Beretta (although I don't have any plastic guns) but I just find myself shooting these more and more often.

    You need a geelock with flaky trigger bar.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    The G43 trigger bar was also flaking?! I thought it was just a Gen5 G19?

    I had a 43 and Gen5 19s flake the finish on the trigger bars.

    I'm back to a 1911 myself.

    Nah, I just didn't care for it.

    Thanks for the replies. I do love my 1911s, but I can't carry one with just a tshirt and drawstring shorts.

    Going to be a stupid question but....does flaking effect function?

    Thanks for the review. I loved mine. Yours still looks like new!

    I had no issues whatsoever with mine and it ran like a top no matter what I did.

    Arik,

    Yes, it made the trigger heavier and feel super gritty. It still went off, but it was not conducive to accurate shooting or confidence.
