Well I have certainly been called worse than over critical but I would say being over critical is what makes the difference between something being acceptable and something else being higher quality. If we were talking about some saturday night special then fair enough but I believe I have parted with enough money to allow me to be over critical about my purchase. 99% of guns will go bang and hit the target, even in the hands of my wife, but if you purchase something labelled in the 'custom' market you expect a little more.

I have varying levels of movement across all of my 1911's. My CBOB is pretty tight, my Springfield MilSpec sounds like a maraca when you shake it. But, it's my understanding that the bushing to barrel fitting is far more important than slide to frame. I fit a new bushing in my MilSpec and it's more accurate than all the others that cost far more.

We need an alert that calls Dave Waits for the definitive answer...
