always has been. Col. Cooper, like him or not, had good advice. Buy two, one to shoot a bunch and another to carry and pamper. Those buffers really take a lot of the pounding off the chassis. Even time, not even using them they will need maintenance and replacement. Oils too break down the material.
If you take a 1911, reduce the bulk by 50% and run the same ammo it's not hard to imagine you need to give it special consideration. The unique mods they did to the PD make it so shootable too. I find it actually superior to the Colt Commander myself. It does not torque in the hand like the Commander with me shooting it.
Don't forget the little BM and BMK which are basically 9mm Luger versions of the same gun. My only critique of any of the Star guns is the expense of quality original magazines. But just belly up and drop the $50-60 for the correct extra and you are set for a decade or two.
I got lazy and wanted something more toolish so I bought a 10-shot Glock 30s that is the same size and weight. A G19 or whatever is also the same size. Lots of options out there, just be real with yourself. The bullet and a hit is what counts, not what it came out of.
