About the 1911 …

Why the 1911 platform? One reason, frankly, is habituation. I got my first Colt .45 auto at age 12, still my most memorable Christmas present. The year was 1960. You do the math, it’s too depressing for me. Suffice to say the 1911 .45 and I have been together for a long time and the resultant...

Honest Outlaw just did a video on the 1911 yesterday. IMO YouTube titles are always clickbait, but... the video is pretty good.

Quote from the end of the video: "If you were born in America, and you don't like 1911's, we can't be friends."

a few other well known and (i trust) you tubers have made videos on the 1911 and thier long standing popularity.

many people question the validity of the 1911 due to the age of the design and low capacity magazines.

i would rather question the validity of the 10mm, and Super 38, maybe even the 40 caliber, and hey how about i question the validity of the .380.>???

in other words, there is something for everyone.

Yea, I said that, Glock Perfection can only go so long while the 1911 is timeless….

You know admitting you have a problem is the first step, right ?
