A box stock GI 1911 is designed to work in combat conditions with ball ammo. They are heavy compared to a polymer wonder auto pistol. Military issue sights are small and not easy to use for many folks. A 1911 with good sights, a throated barrel, a good trigger, and a frame and slide not overly tightened is a different animal.
