re: reliability... years ago at an Area 6 USPSA match in Georgia, Dave Dawson (pre Dawson Precision)motioned me over and said I needed to watch a couple of unknown (to us) shooters...Matt Rierson (KIA Mogadishu, Somalia) and Larry Vickers were shooting the 50yd standards with 1911s.... shooting Match 230 grain Ball...5 "A" hits in 6 seconds....first time I met the
SFOD-D "Delta" shooters from Ft Bragg... good enough for me
