For a handgun there is **ZERO** wrong with the 1911 Government Model in .45acp.
No
Theres a new HK 45 auto out there, based loosely on the 1911, but with a polymer frame.
I DO think they ought to adopt the 416...but in 6.8 caliber.
Do a google search on the new HK 45, it’s really cool, and Im a dyed in the wool 1911 man.
