Obsolete weapons such as the 1911A1 pistol.....

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa? The 1911 is the best pistol configuration ever produced.

Why do ALL current pistols have a coil spring lever type extractor instead of a leaf spring like the 1911?

Why do ALL current pistols have the feed ramp integral with the barrel chamber instead of the feed ramp as part of the frame like the 1911?

Why do all current full size combat pistols have a staggered high capacity magazine (even in .45 caliber) instead of the single stack like the 1911?

The 1911 is an obsolete dinosaur that the ignorant cling to out of nostalgia like their Harleys and ‘57 Chevy’s. Those oldies are cool and classic, but FAR, FAR from the best tool for the job.
