Idiot Scratch

[Solus]

Gosh...1911 has been around for what?  Maybe 101 years?  I imagine this product has been around for no more than a year?

I wonder how the idiots got by for so long with out this miracle?

[Magoo541]

So are they insinuating that John Moses Browning was an idiot for designing a firearm that will get scratched?! 

Do they make a little mylar thing for holster wear?  OH WAIT!!!  WTF am I thinking?  These guys don't put their 1911s in holsters, they don't need holsters because they came with a built in holster between their butt cheeks!

I REFUSE to use tools to field strip or reassemble my 1911s.

Did I see it correctly?  Did he somehow pull the slide stop out without it being aligned to the take down notch?

THIS is an idiot scratch.

You can't use a torque wrench as a hammer? Next thing you will tell me is that you can't use a micrometer as a c- clamp. Hurummpf.

chipping hammer and adjustable wrench, the ultimate multi tool.

I own three, a cheap 2 dollar piece o crap for little stuff, and a couple of Mitutuyo calipers that are very well cared for (no scratches)  Verier of course (or venereal if you prefer) 
used my adjustable (crescent type) wrench as hammer today, better than rounding bolts with it right?

No, no, no ichiban, that is not an idiot scratch.  However, it does qualify you to hang around here with the rest of us gun abusers

The only idiot I see in that video is the dumb bastard who bought that POS scratch preventer. My gun doesnt need to look pretty, and I dont care for safe queens. My guns need to work and thats it.

All of my fired bullets have ugly grooves in them and my firing pin dents my primers. Plus all the centers of my targets have big ugly holes in them.  We have tolerated this nonsense for too long !!!

Considering you can do the same thing with any thin piece of plastic (like a health insurance ID card).

Do they have a product to help you install the safety without scratching the frame?

One wonders if they'll have a product to prevent the drag line on revolver cylinders?


Also, I guess Kimbers work differently, but a Colt 1911, 70' model, I find it a whole lot easier to release the recoil spring by turning the bushing first.  Then removing the slide stop.

Alf, I may be wrong, (it happened once    ) but I think the spring that gives them trouble is the plunger spring.

Wow, the guy wants $10 a pop for this thing.  When I worked at the gun shop we called these "rookie mistakes."  It isn't good customer service practice to call customers idiots.
