Trading them all in for Glocks?

Amazing these things were able to limp along in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and pretty much every conflict until recently.

Did I read somewhere that the military models had looser fitting tolerances to help reliability in field conditions?

Oh, and I bet if he did a post-mortem that he would find the series 80 safety was part of the slide locking open on its own.


<--- really defensive about his love for 1911's apparently...

I do not know why anyone would purchase a 1911..ever. If some of you have one, good luck in getting rid of it. Glock owners do not want them on trade, and after seeing this video, I know for sure that I will never want another 1911, totally and completely unreliable....and will probably be totally and completely unreliable for the next 100 years.

Let's ask the German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese men what they think of John Browning's greatest invention.

The 1911's legacy is bringing down the German Empire(twice), Ottoman Empire, Itlaian Empire and Japanese Empire. Glocks legacy is bringing down dudes named Lorenzo, Tavan, and Jerome.
