LOL, PJ, I could not afford Clark's.......I met him when I was stationed in Louisiana......he wanted his name mentioned at matches. Like you and Chow, guess he liked the kid....he did several for me at a very good price! I was happy to show his products! AMU stuff was not bad, he could just turn out
better stuff....dang, how time does fly!

Back to your original question....I was issued some total junk to carry.....loose/worn...etc. I never had any problems firing expert with them...even in Hardball matches...(using issued ammo and your service issue)...granted, I shot extensively...Army used the 45 for both Center fire and Service class.........AF recognized the 38 for CF....
I still get some side looks when I shoot a old Remington 1911A1 along side some of the LEO kids I shoot with at
my range. I've got a 25yd silhouette target taped to a fridge in the garage with 10 rds in a 3" center of BG...
I call it burglar alarm!..LOL
