Why the 1911 Remains a Top Choice for Gun Owners

I love the 1911 pistol, have had a number of them and right now after getting rid of all things 4, on Dr's , who happens to be a shooting partner, recommendations because of arthritis, the only one i have is a .380 that I carry a lot in summer.

Omg I know, blasphemy, but I figured out long ago not to be quite so uptight. I think JMB would get a huge kick out of the fact it is still used effectively and in so many calibers. The only reason for .45 Acp in the first place was it was part of the army military demands. 9mm is fine, and effective, and they have worked out the wrinkles and they are very reliable. In fact every bit as reliable as.45 acp, now they have really decent magazines which function flawlessly.

So yeah, in the next year I figure on getting a 9mm 1911, been something I have been hankering on getting. Why not, I did not give up on handgun hunting when I sold my redhawk, I went to .357 mag. I did not give up on carrying a revolver defensively in winter when I sold my Bulldog, I went down in caliber to a .357 3 inch model 60, and I figure it might as well enjoy my favorite pistol design, no matter who it makes cringe. And before anyone complains, if its accepted these days to call revolvers, pistols, and magazines, clips, then yes I am buying a 9mm pistol built on the 1911 pattern, it will be a 9mm 1911. 😉


Oh, and only one gun? 3 or 4 inch .357 magnum revolver. Hunt. CC, wife can shoot it well, its the jack of all trades in the handgun world.
