Flave, you weren't asking me about why some people shouldn't own a 1911 and it jogged my memory.
A few years ago I was in a level 4 security class, a small class. Most every one had some experience, a retired ranger (Colonel) a Sgt Major, and so on.
One student had shot an M9 in the Navy.. He was going to use the instructors 1911 because he had ammo for it. That dude didn't have a clue about much so the instructor worked with a little on its basics. After awhile the instructor said F it and made him use a 9 mm XD. The 1911 was, I guess to complicated for him i.e. engaging the safety and so on and so forth.
I understand if had a lot more time and training he might of mastered it, but not that day.
Was his call sign "Mongo?"
