Why the 1911 Remains a Top Choice for Gun Owners

I've had a long time love affair with the 1911. Its my favorite pistol and I have a bunch of 'em. 😁
A lightweight Commander in .45 was my primary carry for most of my adult life. Still have it and still carry it from time to time.
When I was shooting IDPA regularly, I used a Springfield Loaded Model 1911 in .45acp. No, I didn't wimp out for a 9mm version. :rolleyes:
As for the 2011? A much better single action, double stack 9mm has been around since 1935. The Hi-Power. (y)
 
I’ve run a lot of plastic strikers—definitely the major players, as well as many DA/SA service pistols—P226/229, Beretta M92, CZ75/P01, HK USP, P30…

I’ve yet to find one that will outshoot, accuracy wise, a good 1911…even if it runs as much as that good 1911.

As I’ve said before; the 1911 is like entering a Model T at the Indy 500, or Daytona, LeMans…and crushing the competition.

I’m gonna disagree with you on the Hi Power—and I really like my Hi Powers.

The 2011’s straight-press trigger with minimal reset will beat even a massaged BHP trigger.
 
Besides, everybody knows real men carry metal framed 1911’s chambered in .45 ACP just as was always intended. None of them puny yurpeon metric cartridges in sum durn plastic toy pistol…. (that ought to get the glockamoleans goin😏)
 
I love shooting 1911's and enjoy them just like I do M1 rifles, M1 carbines, and 1903 Springfields, but they've all been replaced for a reason.

When they let me keep only one, it'll be one of my Glocks.

It’s not like I don’t have any 1911’s it just depends on the scenario I’m anticipating or where my car takes me 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😆
