Keeping spare parts on hand is not an indictment of the Beretta. There are few pistols as rugged and reliable as the 1911, and I keep spares for my 1911s with me. There are few gunsmiths, competitors or writers with a greater appreciation and love of the 1911 than myself, and I own and have been known to carry, a Beretta M-92.”
Kinda like Bill Wilson and Ken Hackathorn, eh! (Though Ken’s not a ‘smith.)
