bmcgilvray,
I'm with you on that 'exaggeration' deal...
Certainly has never been a problem with either of my pre-26's, or the Ruger .45LC/.45acp Convertible.
The only accuracy issues I ever had were with a .45 Ruger New Model convertible that had been 'accurized', throat-wise, for the .45LC's.
Cost lots of money, and afterward you couldn't hit the wall of a barn if you were inside! :lol: And that was WITH .45LC loads!
Never found my M-1917's to be particularly accurate (military or Commercial), and both were extremely high-condition guns.
Personally, I find the .45acp 230gr. fmj's to be great hole-punchers in the pre-26's.
Go figure!?
Don
