Wow
, this guy really wants me to prove myself to him, all I know, is that I spent a lot of time learning about my state laws, my federal laws, and local law enforcement laws to and always keep myself tactically in the advantage, Mr. Half way carry. Sorry, I really don't have prove anything really its always fun to chump down a semi-novice. Oh since you really want to sound intelligent. When you put a magazine in a 1911, mainly mine w/the 1/4 inch barrel, they are normally 5 inches, they go as low as 3, its not ready to fire, b/c its a single action hand gun that can only be fired if you press the hand safety, if you pull back the action it will not fire, b/c the bullet is not chambered, you have to have the slide back already, or you need to eject an unfired round, then put one in the chamber, the hammer is back and be ready to fire. Hence, cocked, locked and ready to be fired. There are double action 1911's. Your glock, is not a true single or double action pistol. It has a hook that pulls back a spring w/the firing pin attached to it, and releases the pin, thus using the gasses to blow back the action, and blah blah blah. I know my hand guns and tactics, I used sell them for a living, I have lot of firearm forms that ATF look over w/my signature on them, when you can get your glock completely torn down, I mean the internals too, everything, and put it back together again, doing it yourself , then you might be a year from my level, maybe. Ego, you saying schooling me, this is fun I can talk all day about what you don't know. Oh yea I do and can teach for NRA, why would I lie, theres no reason to lie, you're no one to impress and why would they bother to prove anything to you. I'm bored, stick to cars, and try not shoot you self in the foot. You wanna talk about Glocks, the origin of glocks, who uses them, what firm started them, the evolution of glock, what rounds used to exist, how about ballistics and how the FBI uses them, what rounds the FBI uses or used, why is the 1911 considered the greatest handgun in history. *Yawn* I've lost more info then you've gained. Lets be real, your posting for others, aren't you, you've said nothing to impress me, I've love forensics and ballistic forensics. Cars is a semi-hobby, my hand gun is a life style. Next.
