If 1911's are so unreliable, why are they still the best selling pistol in America? Tradition only gets you so far, at some point someone is going to want their gun to work.
Maybe I'll get an answer this time.
Do you have a source for the comment that 1911s are currently the best selling pistol in America? I looked but didn't see something that supported that, but didn't look passed the first google page so I may very well have missed it.
And is your position that if a lot of something is sold, that's evidence that it must be of high quality?
