Section 9: Military Weapons Subject: S&W Model 1917 Msg# 1030532

| I've had a couple. Gave one to my son that did not go bang every time you pulled the trigger until I solved some severe endshake. And the idea that they are more accurate than a 1911 must be made with caveats. Military handgun to military handgun? Civilian handgun to civilian handgun? Ultimately I believe the 1911 is capable of shooting rings around the revolver. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: There was an old sergeant who was a WW II vet I met during the "Great Southeast War Games" (I think he actually enlisted back in the mid to late 30's) who carried one everywhere he went. He claimed it was much more accurate than a 1911 and always went "bang" when he pulled the trigger.
