CarbineCaleb,

Great example as that is one of the most 'notorious' and recent cases of an actual problem that was 'over-embellished' (IMO) beyond belief...Primarily by critics of the basic, fundamental U.S. decision to transition away from JMB's ingenious 1911 or likewise similar critics that felt SIG should have received the contract etc...By the way, I think both of those camps have a certain and undeniable degree of validity to their respective arguments. Nevertheless, the adoption of the 92 has become the legend of 'Internet Folklore' and is the subject of controversy now some thirty years later.

-Cheers
