See, this is one of the problems with the internet. When a group of people talk face to face there is body language and tone. On the errornet there is just printed words. I wasn't trying to be rude or start a fight, wasn't even on any caffine at all. It is just a fact, go to any gun related forum and something like this will come up. On some of the plastic gun forums someone will go so far as to recommend not even changing sights as this is a modified gun. There is no reason not to carry something like a RRA or any other semi-custom to custom 1911 (or insert gun of your choice) that has reasonably speced out as a fighting gun. Sure, the 2# trigger pull will probably get you in trouble, the kill em all grips won't help either. A RRA like the basic carry (which by the way started out as the Adco spec gun) has all you need and no frills to be a fighting gun. Just because it came out of a Custom shop is not going to send you to jail.
The truth of the matter is that no matter what weapon you use if you should be unfortunate enough to have to do so is going to be taken away for awhile. For some this might be an extremely good reason not to carry their high dollar pistol. Myself, if this one gets taken away I'll pull out it's 5" brother. It is true that some prosecutors may try and vilifie (sure I spelt that wrong) for whatever weapon you happen to use from a Raven to a custom 1911. It is up to us to find a very good expert witness to show our weapon of choice wasn't a KILLER weapon.
Since we aren't face to face, this was my smiling talking to a friend tone of voice.
The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there.
