Brent: First, Thank GOD you were not hurt! Second, I have read this blog for years and yours[I believe and recall]is the first instance of a DGS blog member having a major 1903 Springfield failure. I understand your feelings, but I compare this situation to someone who has had a near fatal car accident. They can tell you about it, but no one stops driving a car. Everyone must do what they feel is appropriate for them. I applaud you for bringing it to our attention in such an even-handed manner.

GOOD LUCK

H
