@AlllamericanQB I love everything about 1911s don't get me wrong theres a time and a place for every weapon and thats what close-minded shooters don't understand, if there wasn't there would just be 1 weapon. As much as I love my 1911s, if I know I'm going to be crawling around in dirt, sand, or water I'd pick up my glock or one of my xds. But on the flip side I carry a 1911 every day. This is kinda like the AK vs AR debate people always have..

My first Gun was a Springfield Operator 1911. I love it!

colt my favorite 1911

my cousin is a sheriff's deputy in south mississippi and also on the tactical team (aka swat). on patrol they are required to carry the sig they are issued. but when they kick in doors and go in he will only carry one gun and that is his Kimber 1911. lots of the guys go in with shotguns and shorty m16's, not him, he rolls in with 1911; 8+1 with an extra mag at the ready!

les bauer is prolly the absolute best 1911 built but it also costs over $2000

@xhogger129x I'll be honest I think he's got low self-esteem issues. He's always got to tell everyone how tough he is, he's seen it all, and his wife is a 10 and all kinds of bullshit. He's starting to wear the Ed Hardy shirts now thinking he's a hard ass. Give me a break. That video of his was to get views plain and simple. If I did a video saying "Glocks Suck" It would get 100,000 views easy. I believe what works best for you go with it. 1911,Sig,Glock,HK whatever. These are tools to me.

[xhogger129x]

@MrMuscleBilly Yeah he blocked me because I questioned his "expertise." He has his opinion and I have mine. I made a response to his video only to find out I couldn't post it because I was blocked for disagreeing with him.

@xhogger129x i like the 1911 over the 357. im an amatuer shooter, but i can manage the recoil of the 1911

[xhogger129x]

@MrMuscleBilly yeah I'm watching it now. Idgaf about his opinion/qualifications - the 1911 is a damn sweet firearm. I like Glocks, -like the XD better, but the 1911 has worked fine for me.

@xhogger129x I bought a second one the E-series. I was so impressed with their 1911's. I'm one happy customer. Where did this 1911's are not reliable bs come from? Did you see James Yeager new video saying 1911's suck. I think he's getting royalties from Glock or somthing. Never seen a firearms instructor push a gun so much as this guy.

@xhogger129x True, I'll give it that. Being of the NATO standard doesn't make it anything special, though. Hell, the 5.56 NATO isn't even reliable past approximately 200 yards (if you're using a 16" barrel), because it does not reliably yaw or fragment. If you use a rifle with a 20" barrel, you can get more range out of it, but not too much more. As for being safer, I assume you mean because it's a double action? That may be, but it may also be slower to put into action when you need it.
