Mackay,
I was wondering why something such as the 1911 didn't get adopt by law enforcement after WWII and stayed with their revolvers. I always thought it was because of 1911's reliability issues. Good feedback!
A lot of police administrators didn't like the fact that a 1911 needed to be carried "clicked and locked" to the average citizen that looked scary.
I've had several people come up to me and ask if I knew my pistol was cocked...
Yup! Early in my career, carrying the 1911 I'd carefully explain why it was carried that way...
Later I'd just reply "Yes, I like it that way." That seemed to stop conversation but probably wasn't very good for public relations.
