No need to be sorry! In most cases, glock is a fine weapon. However, it's not the be all end all or the best option for everyone.

THe last several of pistol classes I took had a number of pistol malfunctions,however, not a single 1911 failure. I'm not really sure what that means, but at a minimum, it proves that some 1911's run and some plastic fantastics don't. :tiphat:

(said the guy who also owns plastic guns)

Oh I agree! I have handled some horrible plastic guns. I don't own one but every time I was around a high point it never failed... :shock: lol. But seriously tho I love the 1911 and I will end up owning several I know. Right now practicality and affordability is what I need that's why I cling to glock and 9mm so heavily now.

Range report: 400 rounds of ball ammo no hiccups
Tested the bad mag again...still bad
Various hollow points tested and it does not like hornady.
All in all a good day at the range.

I know nothing about Remington cust. service but, they'd probably do you a one for one exchange.

Get one of these, and make your 1911 competitive with any Glock: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017 ... -magazine/

I can hit with a Glock, but I have to think about it. Not so with other weapons I have or have had.
