Got a 1911, made in 1918. Never had a failure of any kind and it is accurate.
I have had a bunch of 1911s/1911A1s, mostly Colts, and carried a Remington Rand in combat in Vietnam. Never let me down then - and I won a couple of Marine Corps matches with my government-issued .45 match pistol (one hand, 50 meters).
You guys can have the plastic stuff!
“You guys can have the plastic stuff!”
My carry is plastic, a Glock. It is functional, reliable and a ugly black brick!
I just have no love for it like my 1911s.
