I have a few. I carry a CRKT Tao by Allen Elieshwitz. Also the Elite Tactical designed by Tom Anderson. About 20% of the finish is off that one. I colect them for the design work, being a lathe person.
The original 21 was almost too big for my hand to hold comfortably. The 21SF was noticeably a better fit. Both are easy shooters for me and I'm accurate with both.
Gillette Tech, Personna blue or Voskhod double edge blades. Omega boar brushes and too many soaps/creams to list. No ingrown hairs, rash or knicks since dumping cartridges. If you want a new obsession, go to the Badger and Blade forum.
Mine is one of the old ones after the 125 grain only era. It was long enough to chamber a 180 grain Black Talon. I only did that once. :rolleyes: I eventually replaced the trigger return spring but other than that it is stock. It is a tank.
I sent it in twice for repair. They replaced the whole thing once. It did work well for a box of ammo before it started breaking hammers. I should call and ask since they don't reply to emails.
Skyy CPX-1. Took it to the range, cleaned it up, put a snap cap in it and the hammer broke. Sent it in got it back and had a friend shoot it to see if he wanted one. Hammer broke again on the first round. Hoping for a buy back somewhere to get some money back.
I had a Springfield mini or compact mini that had the high angle jam all the time. It had a recoil spring that was almost too hard to hand cycle and nothing could make it lighter. I shortened the spring but could never get it to cycle properly. Just like the author stated. It would not work with...
I have shot the G21 and G21 SF and can tell the difference in grip size. I have a G30 and have handled a G30 SF but can't tell one from the other. I also seem to shoot the G30 a little better than the 21's. With the G17 & G26, they are about the same. Go figure.
I had a compact model with the usual upgrades From the GI style and a full size GI model. Both worked fine for me. Sold them to two co workers who are more 1911 fanboys than I am. They still are working.
