Not so much a question as a statement. I think a gun called Special Forces is ****tarded.

These guns have unique features that are only available on these models. For instance, there's the lettering and sometimes a unique logo. And they also have...well...lettering and maybe even a skull.

Not so much what it says on the side of the pistol but what it says on the price tag. Ouch! I mean they look good and probably shoot good. But better than 7-8 glocks? 3-4 mid grade 1911s? Ill never know.

No operator would use a 1911

Just going to point out that the original double stack Para Ordinance 1911 frame was developed due to demand from the SEALS.

There's also this.

Guess I am not hip enough to understand the question?

X 2. By the way I kinda like the polymer frame model. Been checking out the newer poly frame models from EAA and ATI.

Yeah and i remember in the mid/late 90s the FBI HRT switched from tricked I Hi Powers to custom 1911s from someone like We Brown or Wilson Combat.

The regional FBI SWAT teams got SAI Professionals. FBI HRT got Les Baers.

I never really cared what name or number they called my gun by. If it was a good gun and I wanted it, I got it.

Ain't like this "phenomenon" hasn't been around for a long time. What's so high power about the Hi Power? Or naming cartridges after big bottles of champagne.

Bought a Les Baer last year. Love the pistol but absolutely HATE the "TR SPECIAL" and lightning bolt on shield device on the right side.
