While I'm not a huge 1911 fan, I own a few. The 1911 played a part in winning a couple of wars, I think that speaks for itself. Many shooters get caught up with the next shinning gun. The 1911 is tried and true. One can with practice do very well with magazine changes. Chris

Dear Chris:
Thank you for your correspondence to Governor Hogan regarding House Bill 612 – Public Safety - Regulated Firearms - Colt AR-15 Sporter H-BAR Rifle, as your opinion is important to him.

In the early 80's Sam had his Cop Shop in the basement of Shamrock Trading Co. on Baltimore St in the old National Sporting Goods building. We had a video store (LEO owned), Shamrock Trading Co (pawnshop), Shamrock Arms (gun store) and the Cop Shop all in one building. Great times, we all made...
True, Top Gun Supply had a kit for P228 awhile back now only P229. I'm not sure if they are interchangeable since I had ordered them separately and installed. Chris
