If I was gonna carry a .45 then it would probably be a Glock 21 just because it's allot lighter and more reliable while also cheaper than most 1911's.
i love my 1911....but what alot of people fail to see is that all pistols no matter what caliber or style are inadequate....every pistol has limited range and stopping power...if you want a for shure 1 hit kill them dead as shit gun....buy a howitzer.
I've said from the beginning that I personally like the 9mm but was just stating that other agencies who have alot more field experience than I do use the .40.
@wtfdudenotcool101 at best 40 offers 50 to 60 more foot pounds of energy, roughly same velocity, same penetration, little more expansion but the rate at which it does is identical, more recoil, higher cost...should i continue?
@wtfdudenotcool101 thats funny, cause i have both calibers. my +p 9mm stuff im getting 1417 fps (chrono) that equates a calculated energy of 520 ft lbs. All from a 115 grain bullet. the best ive ever gotten with my my 40 on the chrono is1244 fps using 155 grain hollow points, that equates to a calculated energy of 503 ft lbs. thats using my best two ammos for each. and if nine sucks sooo bad, then why was it the recommended sidearm to carry on lion hunts until the 357 sig....
@zooders It seems like you're agreeing with me but angry about it?
I carry 9mm+P because there is no noticeable difference for my purposes. I'm not going to be shooting through cars or multiple walls. Though I do have a few rounds in case I ever need to...
Because the Jeff Cooper worship & gun shop commando elitism has convinced gun owners that a pistol that may or may not feed hollowpoints out of the box is worth $1000 dollars. Also that a 40 oz pistol that is 8.5'' long is the best thing to have on ones hip all day. It is nostalgia. Get you super kimber custom 5000 titanium insert cobra skin gripped ultra beveled special carry bullshit if you like, & drop $2,000 on it. I will take something reliable. that is 1/4 that cost.
@SaintVanodia I don't carry a glock. There is more pistols in this world than a boxy piece of plastic, an a low cap single action hunk of gimmicky steel. Do you have whale bone grips on your ol .45? Maybe punisher grips? Ooooo Ahhhh Shiny. How much "Checkering per square inch" does the front strap have? 19 elebun one up man ship. Kimber elite Ed Brown custom shmuston cobra elite Ted Nugent approved nineteen ellebun. GOTTA HAVE IT! $2000! Worth It!
@Friedstuffsable nah I just got me a springfield armory, rose wood grips, parkerized, with a skeletal hammer, only spent 500, that's less then my friends low end sig (~ $600+).
I don't really subscribe to the whole ".45 is a death ray" view; especially with recent ammunition advances. I say use whatever round you are comfortable and have practice with.
However 1911s are more concealable than people give them credit for, the slide is slimmer than some compact and subcompact polymers out there, plus the single stack mag slims down the hand grip as well. Weight and length might be an issue for some but for others it's not.
a 1911 will hit u in the chest, dislocate your shoulder, and knock u down. a 9 will go in u the size of a dime and come out the back the size of a nickel. 1911 will go in size of a quarter and come out making change for a dollar. but glocks and other stuff will carry more rounds. I hate glocks but its a proven gun so i wont say much crap. But a 1911's trigger is a lot nicer to pull than a double action. btw during WW1 some dude shot at a low flying plane and took it down in a ditch effort.
A reason to own a 1911 is because of its L frame design, metal, and single action. it shoots incredibly accurate and has lower recoil than most polymer frames. 45 round feels like nothing when it comes out. It was built for WAR. You dont even really need to line up sights and all that other stuff its a "point and shoot" weapon. I dont believe in "2 in the chest 1 in the head" junk that a glock fan states. You wont do that in a hgih stress situation. 1911 is Special forces side arm of choice.
Working on a Series 80 isn't that bad and, while there can be some effect on the feel of the trigger pull (specifically some creeping since the trigger must disengage the firing pin block), it's also not as bad as many people seem to say it is and it's easy to get used to.
It is really funny to me how things work in the gun community. I hear the constant ragging on Glock and their copies like the M&P about "No second strike capability" The 1911 doesn't have that either. But I never hear any shit about it. "The history" "the mystique" sounds like nostalgic fashion accessorizing to me. NO thanks, I will treat a firearm like what it is, a tool. Want to fuss about how many lines per square inch are in the checkering and pay $1200 for a damn pistol go right ahead.
"Want to fuss about how many lines per square inch are in the checkering and pay $1200 for a damn pistol go right ahead."
Of course, you don't have to spend upwards to a grand to get a serviceable 1911 from a good company.
If you don't mind a plain Jane pistol, then a Mil-spec by Springfield Armory can fit the bill for around $500-$600. Or for a couple hundred more, get a Loaded Springfield Armory.
That said, yes, guns are tools (weapons, more specifically).
@Watcher3223 I saw an ad for the "Sharkskin Rig" it was a special 1911 from a high end company, that came with a sharkskin holster. I envisioned some gun snobs walking down a catwalk Zoolander style showing off their $2000 "Sharkskin Rig" Haha, it is a fashion statement. A very vain display of materialistic masculinity. Listening to the 1911 aficionados talk about spurred or commander hammers etc is a hilarious one up manship status symbol. "Who has the most expensive 1911". Haha, no thanks.
"A very vain display of materialistic masculinity."
Many have said the same about pistols in general, though I see your point with specialty pistols purchased by people who likely wouldn't use them for their original purpose (shooting).
IMO, "materialistic masculinity" would befit a gold plated Desert Eagle moreso than a 1911, arguably the most impractical production pistol in existence.
"Listening to the 1911 aficionados talk about spurred or commander hammers etc is a hilarious one up manship status symbol"
In the case of hammers, there's more to it than that.
The original spurred hammer is easier to manipulate but can have a tendency to cause hammer bite on the crotch of the shooter's hand during use. This isn't a problem with all shooters, but it has been with some (including myself). A spur hammer might also make concealment a tad more of a challenge.
A commander style hammer helps to reduce or eliminate the hammer bite problem, but it's a bit harder to manipulate the hammer with one hand with some shooters.
It all boils down to personal preference and which works better for someone.
Usually, people who try to talk about which hammer is better beyond reasoned preference of an actual user, be it someone who doesn't like 1911s or claims a big affinity for them, are usually people who may know virtually nothing about them.
@Friedstuffsable "I know enough to know that it is far from the best option for CC"
The problem with defining what is and isn't a "best option" is that the best answer will vary depending on the person who will carry.
For one person, a 1911 may be the best option. For another, it may not. It depends on what you consider are advantages towards carrying and what quirks you're willing to deal with.
In short, you carry what you are going to be comfortable with, otherwise, you wouldn't carry.
You may not find a 1911 comfortable to carry. That's perfectly fine as a 1911 isn't for everyone just like how a Glock is also not for everyone.
Again, different strokes for different folks.
What counts is to carry what works best for you because all that matters is being able to employ that level of force effectively and accurately if you are ever forced to do so. You can't very well do that if you have a pistol you're not comfortable carrying for staking your life on.
1911 pistols do present huge customization opportunities, both for its benefit and to its detriment.
The benefit are people who learn more about how these pistols work and what they can and can't do.
The detriment are people who try to do things that aren't necessary (full-length guide rods) or can even be dangerous (hare-brained attempts to improve feeding reliability with a Dremel tool, usually by grinding away the clearance at the top edge of the receiver ramp).
Usually, for me, what impresses me most with a 1911 is not because there are companies that specialize in showcase pieces, but in hearing stories about how people have used these weapons to save their own asses in life or death situations.
At least that, alone, is good testimony for this pistol, despite its age and the existence of newer, more advanced pistol designs. The fact that it has a celebrated history is just icing on the cake.
Again, I'm not the kind to advocate the prissy aspect of 1911 ownership, but just saying that a 1911 pistol still gets the job done so long as you don't let it down by taking proper care of it.
And to get a good 1911 does not require spending obscene amounts of money for one.
If there's a person who will decry a lower cost or less customized choice of 1911 just for that sake, then he's an idiot.
If you don't want a 1911, that's cool. A 1911 is just one choice out of many that'll get the job done, so it all boils down to what works for YOU.
Even if it's a Hi-Point, so long as you are an American and you own a gun, it's a step towards practicing and upholding an important civil right rather than letting it perish.
What I ask is to be respectful of differing opinions and to consider that it's idiotic people, not the pistol, behind the vain "materialistic masculinity".
@LegendofHogger I never worked on them, but that might be true. As far as ruining the trigger. I might have to disagree. I've fired a series 80 match grade 1911, and it had a pretty good trigger. But it is a tuned match grade gun. Do you mean a regular series 80 out of the box? In that case, I'm not sure.
how about this reason to carry a 1911... if you pull it it is because you are facing an armed threat and if your gonna die why not die with your favorite pistol in your hand...
For the record I just wanna say that I am a proud Texan and 1911 owner. I chose it because they are a beautiful reliable hunk of steel I like the weight and the way it fits my hand it let's me know the responsibility in my hands every time I pick it up I know its not a toy. If it ever came down to it I would always choose the greatest combat pistol in the world the 1911
When did Man become such a pussy? Men used to carry all sorts of iron around, now we get upset if it's not made of plastic or that it is too heavy. Bunch o cry babies, I would carry a 1911 with pride, but I would also carry an LCR with confidence, I find the argument about 1911's rather pathetic.... but that's just me
@TheTuslog Well seeing as how you might also need extra ammo for if your attacker has friends who would also do you harm... Yeah thats why police departments have pistols that usually carry about 14 - 15 rounds. They might need the extra ammo in a firefight.
@centurion205 Yessir that's all true-which is why Mr. Browning made it fast and simple to swap magazines(always carry 2 spares).To each is own... I can only hope that I never get myself in a situation where I need more than 22 rounds but when the zombies rise up who knows?
@DetroitGlock Glocks work quite well, but I prefer 1911's. Carried for years in the military and LE. Glock is okay, but has the ergonomics of a brick.
Will said, I carry my fathers 1942 military issue 1911. My instructor (concealed license) laugh at me and told the class not only did I carry a gun but also a hammer.
He didn't laugh much after I showed him how to drive a nail at 50'. country boys will survive
"Just the sight of my 1911 usually makes bad guys crap themselves. But, once they get past the sight of it, usually see that nearly half inch hole in the end and run away screaming."
It's funny because it's true (and also how the text-to-speech has spoken the lines).
M1911's are the best handguns when comparing pro's to con's. The weight (42 oz.) helps you stay on target, bad guys do shit themselves when they see one, it's nice and slim because of the single stack, not to mention ergonomic for the same reason, and the pistol grip is at the perfect angle. If nothing else, it certainly holds the title for most ergonomic handgun. Oh, and they're sexy. Being Greek gives my "willy" a comparable size to my gun (Juliet) as well. =D
haha funny video. I carry a full size 1911 because its the best gun configuration I've ever shot. the combination of a heavy frame, slim grip, and crisp trigger makes follow up shots very fast and accurate. When the craps hitting the fan it's about what you can defend yourself best with, not what you can conceal the best, or what your brothers friends dad who's a cop told you is the best.
I have a 1911...I don't carry, California and all. My thinking is if I can only have 10 rounds, I'll make them big, in a large pistol that's easy to shoot well.
I'll only carry it if there is a zombie outbreak or something, at which point concealment is irrelevant.
@Jrhoney most full size are ~36oz (2 1/4) lb. But there are some 3 lb's out there. if you go mid-size, ~32oz, and compact ~28. that's assuming you're going with steal and not aluminum
who ever complains about weight carrying 3 pound on you hip/ shoulder needs to man up, and thats coming from a guy who weighs probably half of what you do
@BALJIT147 When you use the phrase "man up", it can be taken as an insult. I never put either gun on a scale, but the PT-145 is noticeably lighter. You carry it for a few hours and actually forget its there. I carried the 1911 for years, but no more. I dont like plastic guns either, but mine have been pretty good..
Oh, Ive seen this before. This is how it starts. The 9 vs 45 debate. I love 1911s and .45acp in general. I dont mean to piss people off, but I have had much better reliability with the 9s. My Colt 80 series (with too many mods to name) would not even feed ball. I have 2 9mms that have never given me a bit of trouble. I guess its just easier to move a small round than a big one?
@BALJIT147 I had it fixed years ago, so it will feed anything now. When I got it, it would sort of feed ball most of the time, but no hollow point. Like I said, many mods later, it will feed anything. Polish this, reshape that. You should not have to do that to a name brand gun though. I did try different mags at the time, no help.
@DXsukIT So I'm sure you'd be able to laugh off a 9mm to the gut then right? Perhaps even volunteer to catch one in your teeth? Obviously no one is dumb enough to do this with a .45, which will kill you if it even comes close to hitting you, but come on...it's only a 9mm.
i wish i had a 1911.... im gonna get me one one of these days and show those limeys that i dont need to fire the 1911 cannon in order to make a bad guy shit him self like he said in this clip. Its just the sight of a 1911 pointed at you will surely prove that the owner must be a skilled shooter with experience and power to handle a 1911 and show them he or she means business
Its always 1911 at my house. Ok, It is a little large for carry, but what a dream to shoot. It is a piece of history and it will probably be around for another 100 years. I carried a SS 1911, but I switched to a poly, also in .45acp. The funny thing is, the liberals are afraid of the 1911 for its size. They were afraid of the glock because it would "be undetectable by metal detectors". I guess they can be afraid of anything? Respecting a gun is not the same as fear. Gun owners know this.
@rb2112002 it doesnt matter what the gun is to liberals. theyll find an excuse to but harsher gun laws on the respectable citizens to make them feel more powerfull because the truth is, liberals want power, and when some one else carrys a gun they have either just as much or more power to decide who lives and who dies. and ignorant douche bags a.k.a liberals dont understand the concept of self defense and 2nd ammendment rights. because its their way or the highway basically.
@DXsukIT They dont like the idea that people have control over their own lives, when the liberals surrendered to a broken system years ago. I had to draw my 1911 once when some drunk in an el camino chased me around and finally got me to stop. He got out with his bat (unlicenced and unregistered, fully automatic) and I got out with my stainless 1911. He saw the gun just as I clicked off the safety he said "oh". I guess thats the same as oh shit, or woops. he got in his car and drove away.
The 1911 is a piece of pure engineering genius. I can't keep my pants up when not carrying a gun, and as such, a standard size 1911 isn't really my carry gun of choice, but to those that are able to carry one on a regular basis, you get a big tumbs up as far as I'm concerned. Nothing says "f*ck you" like 9 well-placed rounds of .45 out of a 5" hand cannon. Every American should own a 1911.
@ruralguerilla Yes,a real genius.Considering he figured out how to harness all that energy,and release it at just the right moment.Designing firearms using a pencil and paper...no 3D cad in those days.Creating new rounds to overcome problems. And to this day,firearms that were made when he was at the different factories,still shoot without missing a beat. Between Samuel Colt and John Browning,they took engineering of the time to new levels.
seen the last leg of the hidden war, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Dessert storm, carried by the special forces..... what else is to know that it is war proven. And as we speak the U.S Gov is thinking about going back to the .45
Haha Dude I want to to lego world like these guys ! I think rather than 9mm vs .45 it comes down to shot placement more than caliber size to be honest. Ya the .45 does more damage per hit but shot placement and accuracy is the key here. Haha "nice rainbow pin on your jacket, didn't I see you in the movie milk?" haha
@mixwell1983 dude, if you honestly think that a .45 is less accurate then a 9mm you obviously have a lack of experience.
I have shot both calibers and I am telling you, there is no difference in accuracy. the only difference is that you could shoot a 9mm a little faster then you could a .45 due to recoil.
@Alexn1067 - I don't see where I said a 9mm was more accurate... I did look for it but it appears I only posted 1 comment.. My comment was about shot placement is more important than caliber.. I don't believe I would ever claim a 9mm would be more accurate than a .45 BUT if I would ever say that I would say that at further distances the 9mm would be because it has higher velocity and less gravity play at further distances.. Please show me where i said 9mm was more accurate.. I don't see it.
@1ohtaf1 that's the idea. big+slow=taking a lot of flesh with it while it goes through you. 9mm in contrast has a bad habit of going straight through and making nice clean little holes if it doesn't hit any bone.
@Alexn1067 - Cont'd--- no caliber (in my opinion) is more accurate than another at a closer range but a 9mm is more accurate than a .45 at longer distance.. I am going by a 115g 9mm vs 230g .45 @ maybe 100 yards per se just due to bullet weight and gravity. I am not a pro but one think I don't lack is shooting experience.. I am only 27 but I have shot a fair amount of handguns in different calibers (at an indoor range) but again @ like 25yds bullet drop is irrelevant.
I love my Glock, but I think I might break down one day and get a 1911. I heard some people say they are easyer to carry because they thinner with their single stack magazines
@mojothemigo the grip angle on a 1911 in my opinion is the best in the world, john browning got it just right. ask any 1911 owner and they will say it is the best gun for pointing "naturally". now im not a big advocate for your guns driving your opinions because we spend money, but out of all the pistols i'v used, the 1911 has the best ergonomics, grip/grip angle, and trigger. but that said there are things i don't like, e.g. you can't thumb load the camber and limited firepower due to grip :)
@Davidbirtles1 If you have a problem with ammo capacity on a standard grip 1911 then go with Para Ordnance like I did. My P-14 will hold 14+1 with factory mags, 16+1 with factory mag/ factor buttplate extender, and 20rds with after market mags. Personally I only trust factory parts so 16rds in each mag is just fine with me, especially since they don't stick out and screw with concealed carry, and it's still exactly twice the ammo an 8rd wilson mag gives you in a standard grip 1911.
@fredjustsucks and half the reliablilty... and by reliability i mean in New York a man was shot 23 times by a Officer's glock and it took a 12 guage round to the head to finish him off. So ill take a 1911 :)
Are you aware there are glocks in 357 sig, 45 acp, and even 10mm? The caliber debate is entirely different. People seem to have this idea that glocks are only 9mm.
@fredjustsucks Thats left over from the 80s when the first Glocks came out. The only caliber available till the early 90s. I may be wrong on that though..
@mojothemigo I carried a Springfield XD(M) for six months, then got a full-size 1911 from Springfield. I was amazed at how much more comfortable the 1911 was to carry, and when I recently put the XD(M) back on, I had forgotten how uncomfortable it was, comparatively speaking. So there is truth in what you've heard.
@mojothemigo - A larger guy can conceal even a large pistol. I carry my 1911 all of the time IWB. No one has ever known I have it on me. When you are carrying a large pistol though, comfortable leather is a must, especially IWB, or it will stab into your flank every time you sit down in your vehicle.

@zooders I'm sure that your arbitrary data is better than the decades of actual field data the FBI has....
Ballistics with 4 inch barrels show that a 9mm of 124gr travels 1310 ft per second with 472 ft pounds of impact force close in.
The .40, shows a 165gr going 1150 ft per second with 484 ft pounds of force.
I dare you to tell the difference between a +P 9mm wound channel and a .40/.45 channel.
9mm are more concealable, easier for follow up shots and more readily available.

I don't really subscribe to the whole ".45 is a death ray" view; especially with recent ammunition advances. I say use whatever round you are comfortable and have practice with.
However 1911s are more concealable than people give them credit for, the slide is slimmer than some compact and subcompact polymers out there, plus the single stack mag slims down the hand grip as well. Weight and length might be an issue for some but for others it's not.

I hate glocks but its a proven gun so i wont say much crap.

A reason to own a 1911 is because of its L frame design, metal, and single action. it shoots incredibly accurate and has lower recoil than most polymer frames. 45 round feels like nothing when it comes out. It was built for WAR. You dont even really need to line up sights and all that other stuff its a "point and shoot" weapon. I dont believe in "2 in the chest 1 in the head" junk that a glock fan states. You wont do that in a hgih stress situation. 1911 is Special forces side arm of choice.

Working on a Series 80 isn't that bad and, while there can be some effect on the feel of the trigger pull (specifically some creeping since the trigger must disengage the firing pin block), it's also not as bad as many people seem to say it is and it's easy to get used to.
In other words, what's the big deal?
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@LegendofHogger
Dude, I believe you're putting too much emphasis on the fact that a Glock has no external safety like that on an M1911A1 pistol.
While safeties can be a help (or a hindrance), no safety or lack thereof affects the safety that's located between your ears.
One of the four rules is to keep your finger away from the trigger unless your sights are on target and you're ready to fire.
If you always follow the four rules, your weapon won't fire unintentionally.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
It is really funny to me how things work in the gun community. I hear the constant ragging on Glock and their copies like the M&P about "No second strike capability" The 1911 doesn't have that either. But I never hear any shit about it. "The history" "the mystique" sounds like nostalgic fashion accessorizing to me. NO thanks, I will treat a firearm like what it is, a tool. Want to fuss about how many lines per square inch are in the checkering and pay $1200 for a damn pistol go right ahead.

Of course, you don't have to spend upwards to a grand to get a serviceable 1911 from a good company.
If you don't mind a plain Jane pistol, then a Mil-spec by Springfield Armory can fit the bill for around $500-$600. Or for a couple hundred more, get a Loaded Springfield Armory.
That said, yes, guns are tools (weapons, more specifically).

@Watcher3223 I saw an ad for the "Sharkskin Rig" it was a special 1911 from a high end company, that came with a sharkskin holster. I envisioned some gun snobs walking down a catwalk Zoolander style showing off their $2000 "Sharkskin Rig" Haha, it is a fashion statement. A very vain display of materialistic masculinity. Listening to the 1911 aficionados talk about spurred or commander hammers etc is a hilarious one up manship status symbol. "Who has the most expensive 1911". Haha, no thanks.

Well, I like 1911s and, to be perfectly honest, I agree that the "Sharkskin rig" sounds utterly ridiculous.
You don't need THAT much, nor do you have to pay that much, to get a good, reliable 1911.

"A very vain display of materialistic masculinity."
Many have said the same about pistols in general, though I see your point with specialty pistols purchased by people who likely wouldn't use them for their original purpose (shooting).
IMO, "materialistic masculinity" would befit a gold plated Desert Eagle moreso than a 1911, arguably the most impractical production pistol in existence.

@Friedstuffsable
"Listening to the 1911 aficionados talk about spurred or commander hammers etc is a hilarious one up manship status symbol"
In the case of hammers, there's more to it than that.
The original spurred hammer is easier to manipulate but can have a tendency to cause hammer bite on the crotch of the shooter's hand during use. This isn't a problem with all shooters, but it has been with some (including myself). A spur hammer might also make concealment a tad more of a challenge.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
A commander style hammer helps to reduce or eliminate the hammer bite problem, but it's a bit harder to manipulate the hammer with one hand with some shooters.
It all boils down to personal preference and which works better for someone.
Usually, people who try to talk about which hammer is better beyond reasoned preference of an actual user, be it someone who doesn't like 1911s or claims a big affinity for them, are usually people who may know virtually nothing about them.

@Friedstuffsable "I know enough to know that it is far from the best option for CC"
The problem with defining what is and isn't a "best option" is that the best answer will vary depending on the person who will carry.
For one person, a 1911 may be the best option. For another, it may not. It depends on what you consider are advantages towards carrying and what quirks you're willing to deal with.
In short, you carry what you are going to be comfortable with, otherwise, you wouldn't carry.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
You may not find a 1911 comfortable to carry. That's perfectly fine as a 1911 isn't for everyone just like how a Glock is also not for everyone.
Again, different strokes for different folks.
What counts is to carry what works best for you because all that matters is being able to employ that level of force effectively and accurately if you are ever forced to do so. You can't very well do that if you have a pistol you're not comfortable carrying for staking your life on.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
1911 pistols do present huge customization opportunities, both for its benefit and to its detriment.
The benefit are people who learn more about how these pistols work and what they can and can't do.
The detriment are people who try to do things that aren't necessary (full-length guide rods) or can even be dangerous (hare-brained attempts to improve feeding reliability with a Dremel tool, usually by grinding away the clearance at the top edge of the receiver ramp).
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
Usually, for me, what impresses me most with a 1911 is not because there are companies that specialize in showcase pieces, but in hearing stories about how people have used these weapons to save their own asses in life or death situations.
At least that, alone, is good testimony for this pistol, despite its age and the existence of newer, more advanced pistol designs. The fact that it has a celebrated history is just icing on the cake.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
Again, I'm not the kind to advocate the prissy aspect of 1911 ownership, but just saying that a 1911 pistol still gets the job done so long as you don't let it down by taking proper care of it.
And to get a good 1911 does not require spending obscene amounts of money for one.
If there's a person who will decry a lower cost or less customized choice of 1911 just for that sake, then he's an idiot.
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@Friedstuffsable
If you don't want a 1911, that's cool. A 1911 is just one choice out of many that'll get the job done, so it all boils down to what works for YOU.
Even if it's a Hi-Point, so long as you are an American and you own a gun, it's a step towards practicing and upholding an important civil right rather than letting it perish.
What I ask is to be respectful of differing opinions and to consider that it's idiotic people, not the pistol, behind the vain "materialistic masculinity".
Watcher3223 4 months ago
@LegendofHogger I never worked on them, but that might be true. As far as ruining the trigger. I might have to disagree. I've fired a series 80 match grade 1911, and it had a pretty good trigger. But it is a tuned match grade gun. Do you mean a regular series 80 out of the box? In that case, I'm not sure.

M1911's are the best handguns when comparing pro's to con's. The weight (42 oz.) helps you stay on target, bad guys do shit themselves when they see one, it's nice and slim because of the single stack, not to mention ergonomic for the same reason, and the pistol grip is at the perfect angle. If nothing else, it certainly holds the title for most ergonomic handgun. Oh, and they're sexy. Being Greek gives my "willy" a comparable size to my gun (Juliet) as well. =D

1911 is a DAMN fine firearm. A bit big to carry for most, but if it is your choice it is your choice point blank and period.

I have shot both calibers and I am telling you, there is no difference in accuracy. the only difference is that you could shoot a 9mm a little faster then you could a .45 due to recoil.

@Davidbirtles1 If you have a problem with ammo capacity on a standard grip 1911 then go with Para Ordnance like I did.

Personally I only trust factory parts so 16rds in each mag is just fine with me, especially since they don't stick out and screw with concealed carry, and it's still exactly twice the ammo an 8rd wilson mag gives you in a standard grip 1911.

When you are carrying a large pistol though, comfortable leather is a must, especially IWB, or it will stab into your flank every time you sit down in your vehicle.

A 1911 is a wee bit big for concealed carry unless you are a guy and have it between your legs!

Awesome! I think that Texan was based on Sheriff Jim Wilson. The 1911 - Its what other guns WISH they could be.
