1911s are natural shooters. Powerful. 'Murican.
Quote from: Blicero on March 20, 2015, 11:12:46 PM1911s are natural shooters. Powerful. 'Murican. YEAH! Arguably the longest serving military issued handgun in the world, and still serving among some U.S. units. It's making a comeback. There's a good reason for that!
Actually Dannyboy, if you want to get technical, the 1911 is not making a comeback. It is the 1991 that is rising up in prominence. It is the 45ACP that is making a comeback.Am I splitting hairs here or what
I've had some folks jump on my back for trusting a Glock 19 in 9mm. They end up spouting the merits of 357 sig, the power of 40s&w, etc. It always ends the topic quickly when I offer to let me shoot them with the 9, to see if it ruins their day.For as much as I fellate the 1911, I can see where contemporary forces might consider it obsolete. Doesn't the modern mantra within military/police/security units laud capacity over projectile size?
