Mike,
It'll be interesting to hear the reply. I have seen pics of some phenom groups shot with a 7 1/2 long bbl'd .45 Colt,using a pistol vice.
I believe that was on Gunblast.com, a few years ago. As well, I don't think that Brian Pearce is much given to spreading cow manure, either. I doubt that he'ds be thrilled to hear of a QC decline in the product behind which he has put a good deal of positive press and product development input.
However, an entrepreneur can become bored with mere 'running' of a successful product, and let his attention wander to new and exciting projects. I have to remind myself that sometimes it the humble and repeatable routine, upon which the cash flow depends.
Off to see Mammon,for some bit.
