Also even if your 1911 is 100% reliable it's still inadequate compared to a modern high capacity gun like a GLOCK as a combat handgun. I like 1911's for range shooting though.
They make a good club remember.....

Self defense sure go for it there are reliable high end 1911's and by upgrading a standard one it can be reliable enough to stake your life on. If that's what you know (TRULY KNOW) then you should use a 1911. If you've never ran drills with a 1911 (especially a 1911 but any gun for that matter) and your carrying it to defend your life then your probably gonna **** up and die when it counts.
Im not anti 1911 I'm just aware of their limitations. And most 1911 experts I've seen have the same thought process on it.
damn I'm getting old. Took me 3 posts to think of what I wanted to say
Yep.
Your still going for the hunk of steel guns though
you need a GLOCK and then I'll stop picking on you
Pick pick pick pick pick.......
Glocks hate me. They really do.

When you hear die hard 1911 guys like Ken Hackathorn and Larry Vickers recommend Glocks over a 1911 that's not a Wilson Combat, you can't help but listen to them.
I like Glocks because of the simplicity. If I had the money, I'd buy a 1911 today. But I feel like it would have to be a Wilson Combat.

Ok since I really like my new 1911 I have been doing some research etc watching videos and such. One of the things I cant believe is the amount of disdain some have for them. Some of the videos even state how a 1911 will never be reliable and how I would only carry a ........
because they will never malfunction and they carry more rounds.
Really why all the hate? Now that I found the right holster belt combination I carry mine with complete confidence. If the 1911s are so bad why are so many in production still?
