[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2817912, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Yes, it's an old thread, but much there is still enough to raise questions, some of which may incite arguments. 1. There was a reference to a certain firearm "liking to run wet," which I presume mean with more oil than others. I recently went to change the magazine on my Springfield Armory XDs and when I went to chamber a round, it failed to feed. After oiling it a couple of days ago, it fed just fine. So, the question is: which brands/models also seem to want to "run wet?" Which reminds me, when I went back to oil all the weapons the other day, I forgot to do it with my Glock 23C, so I need to get my cleaning stuff back out again. 2. Is there just a mystique about the 1911's that make people really say it is the best there is? It may just be me, but I've never felt the real need to own and shoot a 1911 of any caliber. At a range here near Colorado Springs, one of the range guys asked what caliber I shot. He was happy when I said that I preferred .45, and then he added a comment as to whether it was a 1911. He then seemed unhappy when I said no. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
