[geeks] 1911A1 handguns (was Re: Help me convert...)

[Rob]

I've shot the USP Compact 9mm and beat on it quite a bit. My complaint is
that it's too big. Although I'd say the same about the G17.

I've jammed oversize bullets into my HK USP 45 by accident once or twice
and it came back thirsting for more once I cleared the jam. It DID NOT
fire out of battery for which I was quite grateful.

HK makes a good combat gun but you pay for the quality.
