I've read Patrick Sweeney before, even a couple of books he's written, and don't remember him having such difficulty with English. 
As to the pistol, I don't see the average shooter running out and buying this kit based on his article--he doesn't make it sound easy. Most serious 1911 guys probably understood it, but even then, a lot of his comments were convoluted. The kit sounded decent. One thing I disliked was the offside tab on the safety lock, put there to allow the right side stock panel to hold the safety in place. That is a cheesy option used by cheapo gun makers who can't be bothered to make a two-sided safety lock properly by having the pin locking together via a slotted shaft. Any time I see that feature on a 1911 I walk away. Cheesy off-side safety (Wilson) with extra flat for stock panel to hold it in place:
Proper off-side safety (Ed Brown)with internal slotted shaft to hold it together: |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: For the person who wants to explore the dark depths of his vocabulary, Tisas offers this complete 1911 parts kit that lets him assemble his own 1911 pistol in .45ACP. Strangely enough, I can see the attraction for doing this... |
