Interesting post from Guns Magazine. At Gunsite 45% of our clienst might shoot glocks, then 1911's and Sigs. It is a matter of personal preference. Two guns exemplified changing technology in the 1870s, if not consumer tastes. The Sharps Model 1878 Borchardt was one of the last single-shot rifles offered to a world military establishment newly focused on repeating rifles, and the Colt Model 1878 combined the quaint technology of the Single Action Army’s extraction with the rapid fire of a double-action combat revolver.
