OP, you seem like a nice guy, so don't take this the wrong way. The Model T Ford was a great car in 1911. I don't want one for my daily driver, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Obsolete.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I love mines 1911's, but sometimes better options are better. You don't haver to own a 1911 to carry. Sometimes it can be just for fun. It's true. My better option is lightweight and a striker. My fun range time option is the 1911. Both can mutually exist. |

As is the case with almost any firearm, there will always be people who preach to others "stop liking what I don't like".
There are plenty of firearms I don't really like all that much, but it doesn't bother me that other people like them. Other folks can spend their money on whichever firearms they like, and I'll spend mine on whatever I like. I even accept that plenty of the firearms I don't like are quite popular. That popularity shows me that there are plenty of people who like firearms that I don't like..and I'm OK with that. I don't feel the need to attempt to dissuade anyone from the firearm of their choice, and I don't really care if they don't like the firearms that I prefer. Some people don't like fine steaks, Ferraris, beautiful women, fine booze or great cigars...and that too is OK with me. That just leaves more for me. |

 I'm a 1986 model millennial. I have no problems with 1911s. And yes I know that mine is full of investment castings and MIM parts but it has worked like a champ in the near decade I've owned it. Its had a shit ton of lead swc reloads shot through it with no problem along with various other types of ammo. |

I've heard the Model T analogy many times and the Model T analogy is retarded.
A Model T could not keep up with the speed of modern highway traffic. A model T also had to be started with a crank. It used leaded gasoline and it did not have the reliability to drive all the way cross country A well made 1911 will reliably fire modern .45 ACP defensive ammunition and it is still a good pistol. The Ruger Blackhawk is a modern take on a 19th century firearm and I never hear anyone criticizing it. The Blackhawk is another example whereby an older design is still valuable today |
