Y'all know the "key fruit" concept? It's when there is one of those large, squared-up pyramid stacks of apples or oranges at the grocery store, and you grab one from the side thinking it's safe, and the whole pyramid comes tumbling down all over hell as soon as you pick out the single apple/orange.
1911 threads are like that: every pistol shooter has this 'want pyramid' dedicated to 1911's inside them, and someone like Nyeti or BBI comes along with a single, seemingly innocuous post, and the reader's whole internal pyramid absolutely collapses. Everyone thinks it's the thread, but it's not; it's a pre-existing condition–and one not covered by Obama care.
I'm already looking at having a new Gov't build done (Harrison)–because I'm just a guy beholden to nothing but desire–and I picked up this the other day, because: 9mm 1911, unusual, pony, totally frivolous, may learn something from the oddball sight arrangement. It's not even a “serious” 1911, compared to at least one serious post above, but that doesn't matter when someone pulls your keyfruit.
