What is it with all the idiot scratches on firearms? In my whole life and hundredes on 1911's I have never put one (1) scratch on any of my 1911's. I had a chance to purchase a beautiful Colt 1911, but it had the worst scratch on it I have ever seen!! With that "deep" of a scratch and with the owner not wanting to budge, for me it was the scratch!!
I packed my bags and left. I really wanted to walk with this firearm, but no deal.. In some cases the scratches can be worked out, but with this one, there was no way. I know it's called an idiot scratch, but what really happens? Screw drivers? Not knowing how too take one apart, or put one back together? Come on fellow firearm owners. Stop with the scratching of your 1911's. Read the manuals, leave the screw drivers alone. I presently own 27 different 1911's, and not one has a "Idiot scratch" Wow, I almost feel better now. Ok, I'm done with my rant. Thanks for reading....
