first time 1911 owner

I never could understand the mystique of the 1911.
Owning a 1911 doesn't make you a better person.

Makes me wonder if you drive a Prius!?


There are 1911's and there are "other" handguns.

I think Prius owners have more in common with 1911 owners.

The owners can't help try to evangilize how wonderful their guns/car are.
Many think they are somehow superior to other mortals because of their choice.

I test fired a full-size 5" Springfield 1911 last year. I wasn't impressed. The gun was fine, accurate, reliable, but it wasn't comfortable for me. I'm 6'-2", 250 lbs with a large build. I still wanted one though...

My wife bought me Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail 1911 for Christmas, and I LOVE this gun!! The bobtail grip is WAY more comfortable than the standard grip in my opinion.

If N... you don't like it, and it won't shoot right .... You could put it in your tool box AND use it as a hammer ??!!??
