What he talking about "rail gun" or "stocks" (grips)? Nice pistol I agree but I fail to see what this has over a Kimber or for that matter Springfield XD.
It's all good though - I have a side business that modifies 1911's. This could mean more business, boo yaah!edit on 20-1-2013 by Asktheanimals because: added comment

Dude, all the Wilson's at my store are gone! I wanted the CQB so bad, I mean you cant miss, even if you suck at shooting. I didn't know Kimbers were cast. I'll still die before my Warrior takes a crap so, but I agree that forged is better so good call on that. How long do they last? 1,000,000 rds.?

more rounds, more power, and the glock 20 is extremely reliable

i've found the recoil is less with the 10mm round than the .45. glocks are exceptionally balanced, so that probably has something to do with it. reacquiring the target isn't any harder.
if you don't believe the test, you can compare the ft/lbs of force. don't get me wrong, the 1911 is a great gun, but i'd rather have more rounds and more power.
