You need clear sights, a controllable trigger, plenty of training ammo and an outlook that doesn't seek gear solutions to skill problems.

At the risk of reviving an old thread, I'd like to see a $500 1911 do that... :sos:

Well, his next endurance test is a 9mm 1911. It's no $500 gun though! Should be interesting regardless.
