Guys who run 1911s would absolutely benefit from going a bit deeper into how it works, just to be able to "self-help" on any possible frustrations.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I was looking at Glocks to see if I could find one I liked... but I guess I have Glockoma....
Yeah, I guess it is similar to the problem folks with purebred dogs run into. Purebreds have more health problems than mutts. Meaning that the more humans tinker with something to try and make it better can only lead to problems due to the higher level of complexity or refinement.
Interesting analogy.
I'm a dog guy. I've had them all my life and trained them for all kinds of things for more than 30 years at some of the highest levels possible. A GSD helped me learn how to walk when I was 6 months old. Ironically, now when I run and play with them all they try to do is trip me up and take me down. They think that is great fun!
A friend of mine is a dog gal. All of her mutts had fewer health problems and lived much longer than her purebreeds.
