I was watching some gun show on some sports channel, and voila! here's this Vickers fella, looking all tough, and in your face, shoving this damn 3rd generation M16-aint-gonna-shoot-one-a-'em-again-rifles, in my face. He had an episode the next time, all 1911 until he looked like he would burst, touting it da best t'ing in da woild!

Now, he tells me that 1911's are a piece of crap from the factory, megabucks-outta-my-pocket-later, thankyouverymuch, and that HE has come down from da mountain, all shiny-faced, and LO! Knows what he needs to 'set'em right'!

Vickers, you da snake-oil-salesman, better than da President!

PS, ol' Larry, I qual'd on a 1911 frame chambered in .38 Super, as a Junior NRA shooter, 1965. I shot that bythegods-awful squirrel gun for 3 YEARS in Southeast Asia. Ya's can't sells me one, larry-boy!

Of course, I stopped watching. Now, who were those advertisers of the show? Time to write them letters, too.
