Rereading this article, were I writing it today, there are only a few things I\u2019d change. I would delete the part where I say the Hi-Power\u2019s was the first successful double-column pistol magazine; I\u2019ve since found out that\u2019s not true. Hey, what can I say, I learn new things all the time, and sometimes they contradict what I thought I \u201cknew\u201d before. Also these days I\u2019m much less enamored of the magazine \u201cmousetrap spring\u201d than I was at time (though I do get an immense amount of amusement from the fact that, while I\u2019d never before heard anyone else use that term when I put it in this article, it has since become the commonly used phrase to describe the part) since it can interfere with getting a good grip on the magazine in a mag pouch when doing a fast speedload. Oh, and after this article was written, and after it was too late to change the line before that issue went to the printers, I decided to not buy the test sample, as I said I was going to. Could I go back in time, I would buy it, because if I had, there is absolutely no doubt in mind I would have long since had it rebarreled, and resprung, as a 9mm, and that would be a really sweet piece. Lastly, my final assessment, \u201cThis is the gun the 1911 .45 auto should have been!\u201d I think owes a bit more to youthful enthusiasm than defensible fact. But anyway, here it is, gang.<\/p>\n
