Thread: CT State Police No longer uses 1911

  1. #61
    I wonder if this had anything to do with it? Sounds like major accountability issues with the Connecticut SPTU armory.

    That was 2015. Nothing ever came of it. They switched to M&P in 2018.

    The biggest issue with the 1911’s was keeping them running. 40 high round count guns require gunsmith support.

    Every time something broke, it needed to be shipped to Guncrafters. Long turnaround times.

    I prefer teams of dwarves forging my weapons, personally.

    Why haven't the dwarves moved on from these antiquated forging techniques and bought themselves a 5 axis milling machine huh?

    It's a conspiracy damnit. All those 7s in their mythology too.

    Everyone knows billet is stronger than forged. Philistines

    I hear they're running a bit short on their membership numbers

    Please clarify. Are these hot dwarfs or the longbeard variety.
