I picked up a brand new Springer GI a few weeks ago. It was not in my possession more than a few hours before I was deep in the 1911 catalog from Brownells. Now all that remains original is the frame/slide. I just can not help myself.....it is an addiction.......
Now I have more spare parts to up-grade RIA's
Movies. It's all about the movies.
What is the most important thing? Right, to look and seem cool. I slung guns for four years. I know my market. Everyone wants to be cool.
Name a movie that the 1911 has been in recently? Right, you can't.
It is all about the polymer baby. You may be cool, but you'll never be dual-wielding plastic fantastic cool!
1911s are classy. Glocks are workhorses. Both will get the job done. I have to say that I love both my Glocks and my 1911. They each have their place.
because its design is over 100 years old
QFT!!The female body design is at least 180,000 years old and it still makes my heart pound....What's your point?
because its design is over 100 years old
People seem to want to carry the smallest pistol they can these days. For some reason people tend to want to justify their own choices by bashing anything to the contrary. So that means 1911s suck if you own polymer. If you own 1911s then plastic sucks. Some of us own and enjoy both, but some people seem incapable of that. Just like the Apple vs. PC fight. For some reason there is real hatred in some people for the other group. It escapes me why, but it really exists.
A kimber TLE II, a Springfield loaded, and colt (yes, a colt) 1991
You lost me until you said to **** on them! See , we can always find common ground!Why all the 1911 hatred ? Cause 1911's SUCK WORSE THAN WARSR'S ! and you all know it !
The damn things have more bushings , pins and springs (to lose) than a swiss clock .
Field stripped , my G30S has 4 parts , slide , frame , guide rod and spring . Count'em 1, 2 ,4 parts total .
Unlike the battleship anchor 1911 , I can carry my G30 in my front pants / shorts pocket and it BARELY prints .
" If you hit your target , 8 rounds is enough " , OH REALLY ? Because bad guys are NEVER hopped up on drugs and take multiple hits to stop do they , yeah right .
I've got 10 + 1 rounds of .45 flavored kiss my ass in my gun , with another 13 in my pocket ready for hurp durps friends , just in case .
Should I ever feel the need to I can bury it for a year , freeze it , throw it in a lake , mud , out of a plane or up against a brick wall , **** on it to clean it and not worry about it functioning like it should .
Last but not least , because Yeager says they suck !
To Kirk's movie or TV reference, on Criminal Minds, Rossi caries a 1911.
With the inception of the Glock in the early 80's I find it amazing how much of the US and the world carries it. I also find it amazing that so many companies copy the Glock. For police in the US what did replace the revolver? The Glock. Why were 1911's never standard issue for police across the US? A Glock has 38 parts, what other semi auto can say the same. Simplicity, reliability, capacity, and serviceability is why I no longer own a 1911.
View attachment 29076But with the right loving, they are AWSOME to drive!!I don't carry a 1911 for the same reasons I don't drive a model T Ford. That simple.
