Re: Why a 1911?

So I carried a Berretta M9 for the 10 in the Marine Corps and shot a lot with it. The times that I was not in uniform I had a Glock 23 and shot it a lot until I got married and no longer had any of my own money or time. What I shot best was and still is a single action on that M9 and when you want a single action trigger you want a 1911. (Barring Revolvers) There are a lot of other single double action guns out there but most have a general pull from the 1911. If I didn't carry a 1911 I would carry a sig 227 or something comparable. So after answering the short question long......

1. Single Action Only

2. Trigger

Disclaimers....Still nothing wrong with a Glock that has a 3.5 lbs disconnect.

There are lots of striker fire guns that are good guns. The on-going "rivalry" between 1911s and striker fire (specifically Glock) is mostly all in good fun. I like the way 1911s look. That may be superficial....but it's my money. I also like the extra safety features (side safety plus grip safety.)
Said like a pro! The reality of it is that if you are going to carry a gun around you have to be comfortable and confident with what it is that you have. Plus your paying for it.
