Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 1911 ....Why is it..

This one worked quite well on my 1st tour. No upgrades, no feed ramp grinding/polishing, no 500 round break-in. Shot to point of aim at 10 yds with ball and performed as expected when I used it on someone.

I put two magazines thru it to function test, loaded the others I had and carried it daily on combat patrols. Too easy.

But...I wouldn't have felt sorry for myself if I had a Glock 17 instead. I like a 1911 though, because I sent so many rounds downrange using one while assigned to the Army Pistol Team.
