What is it about the 1911

[cbhausen]

Awhile back I described the 1911 as "the Harley-Davidson of handguns..." And chicks dig Harleys, right?

1911'S are where its at. They are a very high quality that are very accurate and reliable. Plus they are a beautiful machine!!

1911 = AR15 in the rifle world.

My post = Nothing but LOVE for 1911's!

I like 1911's except for the manual safety. If they made a model with a decocker, I would be all over it!

I have concerns about manually decocking one as well. Seems like one is a slip away from a big oops....

I am confused, they look great but leave an oil stain wherever you lay them and refuse to fire when it is cold?

My love affair began when I was 7 years old when I was shown my grandfathers 1911 he carried in WW2. Since then my love grew. I presently have the Remington 1911 my grandfather had and my Springfield GI Champion. I love the design and the history with the design. John M. Browning is a legend of the gun world. I love shooting them both and love just looking at them. They served US troops from WW1 to after Panama. They are still used by some special forces and police. They are the most recognizable handgun along with Glock. It will remain a great pistol long after I am gone.

Its a true american classic handgun ,its like holding a piece of history in that it is a 100 year old design that has set the standard of semi auto handguns & is still highly regarded as a premier carry weapon.

They are kinda like the muscle car of the gun world. Big motor (bullet), heavy, full of metal, solid, can be finicky, but when you get em right there isnt a more beautiful or fun to use gun/car in the world.

I have yet to shoot another style semi auto that I shoot as well as a 1911.

I think part of it is all the steel. The other is all the art.
