That, and what many people call a 1911, is not a 1911.
A "1911" is a: Colt Series 70 or older Made in the USA Blued or parkerized A "1911" does not have: A full length guide rod A beavertail grip Extended controls Anything but wood or ivory grips A RDS Adjustable/big sights |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Get the gun to pass Hilton Yam’s reliability tests and you’ve got a good 1911. Biggest problem I’ve ever had with 1911’s is improperly fitted parts and crappy magazines. All were solved with quality parts and good mags. I'm about halfway through his tests with my Loaded with no malfunctions of any kind. Heavier loads and lighter loads of varying bullet weight, JHP and FMJ. I suppose I should try running some SWCs through it. Just need to do the extractor test with the mag removed now. Do you know where I can find his article on magazines? I've read about it, but every link I've found brings up a 404 error. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:  I applaud your ability to use big words, really I do. Next time just use normal conversational English and look less like a toff. I fully intend to have a great day - I hope yours is the best part of your week. They also make them in 9mm and .22 but that's not what the OP was talking about. Nice try, though. I love how everyone fixates on one of my comments as if that negates the thing entirely... no. I "fixate" on it because .38 super has been my preferred caliber for a long time and it's automatically what I think of in a 1911. But, To go along with your take on it I still don't consider the .45 to be unnecessarily large. But, To each his own carry what you like and be happy. |

Here is my 1911:
 It’s a Colt Anniversary model. Closest thing to a safe queen. It gets babied, I even take off my wedding ring when shooting it. It reinforces the 1911 as unreliable. It’s mostly the mags. Went shooting this past New Years and was shocked when one time it didn’t jam on the last round. But it’s never going to see a holster and is only a range toy. So a failure per mag is acceptable. But it absolutely is the last gun I would reach for if I needed to trust it to actually do some work with it. They’re only good for what I bought mine for: a piece of history. |

I have carried a 1911 ever since I was issued one in 1981.
I have never had the curse of a jamomatic. I had 1, in 10mm, that went back to Springfield, and came back perfect. Otherwise...Colts, Rugers, SIG's, Rugers....all of them have been flawless. I currently carry a Wilson Hackathorn Special. Awesome pistol. For what it's worth, the Ruger was the least expensive and possibly the best of the bunch. |

Every striker fired poly framed pistol is essentially a glock clone. So I'm sure total sales on those gives a clearer picture of what people are buying and carrying. No hate for the 1911 but it's definitely not the best by any objective metric. pistol tech has largely moved on from the design. But it does indeed have a cult following and firearms by nature have less emphasis put on their modernity. So it's obvious most people wouldn't feel under-gunned by owning one. And I honestly wouldn't try to convince them of such. |

My modern 1911's run 100% as long as they are not dry and have good mags. (Wilson 47d) Same can be said for my 92 which is the only type sidearm I ever fired for real. (Beretta or mec mags).I've run alot of glocks over the years and still own lots of polymer pistols but currently no glocks. Variety is the spice of life! Gen xer all the way.

Based on their history are they cool? You could answer a resounding YES quite easily.
Are they practical for carry today in 2022 compared to everything else out there? Lack of reliability, ammo compatibility, capacity, weight, etc. you could easily answer NO. They'll always make a good BBQ gun though...  |

Credit goes to where credit is due, no revisionary BS, please. FYI I carry a Glock exclusively so take this with a grain of salt but objectively a tool being selected by the person and not as a tribe is actually a great metric by itself. Pistol tech does indeed have a cult following and it's not just restricted to 1911 owners. I see Glock cultists day in and day out that makes me almost embarrassed to be known that I carry one too. Fun fact, but when Glocks came to the US market in the mid 80's, a good number of bOoMeRs were in their twenties or early thirties were buying them too, making Glock also a bOoMeR gUn. Another fun fact: Strikers can be found with lesser or the same capacity as certain 1911 models. I still don't feel under-gunned with those models of strikers either. Y'all should just accept it, 1911's are still going to be around and some people will still be carrying them. And judging by the millennial perspective threads of 1911 threads, still not going anywhere for a very long time either. I've seen sooooo many of you all try to argue, belittle, shame, and debate until ad nauseam yet still this tired, overplayed, worn down, unwinnable debate is still being done to this day. All to no avail. |

Quoted: I am fed-up and sick to death with stupid know-it-all millenials who keep slagging the 1911. Just because you own an I-phone and just because you used the said I-phone to create a You Tube channel does not make a firearms expert. And most of these idiot millenials have never even seen a proper 1911. That is to say an all steel forged pistol without parts made of bubblegum or metal injected molded scrap metal. Here's a properly fitted 1911. It will feed and extract empty cases and it goes "boom" every time. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/234818/20220521_132925-2391990.jpg I'm not a boomer or a millennial, nor do a really care to divide people into groups. My Norinco wasn't reliable until I did a few things to it- mags and recoil spring, but it was a better than my friend's Colt at that time. Today I carry a polymer, not a Glock, pistol. It's better in almost every way but I still have the Norinco and enjoy shooting it once in a while. I wouldn't have an issue with the reliability of it if I had to use it to defend myself. |
