Yes we should. I meant to stop by to say hello this AM. Even left a little early, but for some reason when I got in the car I got on auto pilot.Diode wrote:We're going to have to go do that as well.

The parkerizing is just a metal finish to protect the gun from rust. Springfield GI and Mil-Spec models are excellent guns for the money. Simple, no bells or whistles, but as with all 1911 type guns you can customize it to your liking.
The smaller 1911s (under commander size) seem to be a crap shoot for reliability. I had a 3" Kimber that functioned as intended. It seems as if some do have problems with the smaller ones. I personally don't believe that they are as bad as some like to it sound.
I don't know your familiarity with Glocks, but the slimline Glock 36 is a handful to shoot. Recoil can be quite stout. There are many who don't find the recoil bad. The times I shot one it felt as if I would loose the gun with each shot.
Find a range that rents and try them out. Heck if your're in the Spring/The Woodlands/Conroe area I'd be happy to let you shoot my Springfield Mil-Spec. It is a full size gun though.
