+1 for the postivive reviews.

I went straight to Pat's article when I got the magazine. Still working my way through the rest of it.

SWAT is the only magazine that I have read where every page has something useful. I usually skip over the editor's column or readers comments in other magazines. But not in SWAT. Denny always has some useful tidbit in there.

One follow up question for Pat if he will indulge.

Early in the article when you were listing the parts you said "ramped barrel". Do I understand correctly that they are/have been using ramped barrels vs. the standard ramp on frame of a 1911? If so what was the reason/advantage over the non-ramped standard configuration?
