    That's awesome.

    For my sake, can you define "enter service" as the criteria? I'm assuming it means I've started carrying the gun every day. In order for that to happen, just fyi, the gun will need to fire 1,000 trouble free rounds of FMJ followed by 200rd of an acceptable JHP/defensive load. That does not necessarily mean without cleaning or lubrication. The three loads I'm planning to test for possible carry use are the Federal 124gr+p HST (my current carry ammo), 124gr +p Gold Dot, and the ASYM Ammunition 115gr +p SDX.

    Todd, that might be too tough a criteria, since most responses have been dates in 2012.

    I was thinking it would be the date you be received both pistols, and had fired a few rounds to do initial function checking, to determine whether they needed preliminary adjustment, and had any adjustments completed. Having been around 1911 pistols for over 30 years, I know how hard it can be to get a good 'smith to get a project finished, but to atually get two, and that run, and in 9mm, seems to be stacking the odds against you. Gracious guy that I am, why don't you just tell us the date when it happens, based on the criteria that make sense at that time.

    Understood. My point is that if I cannot get the guns to meet the stated level of dependability ("I'll carry them"), the test will likely end and I'll sell the guns to someone who doesn't read PTC or PF.

    (edited to add: I wouldn't really do that)

    I will never see a Rush album cover again without thinking of Krieger's van.
