They could save a bundle by going back to the 1911.

Typical GI can’t shoot the 45 cal hardball accurately. The Army should consider going to revolvers.

They should, but they won’t, because they want to have metric ammo due to nato.

Yup. Simple and reliable.
They want a more accurate pistol? The pistol is very accurate, even the cheap ones. The person using it is is the one who missed..

Right on. There is no better pistol for combat, IMHO.

Maybe a beefed-up version and a new hotter .45 ACP round.

Hard to believe anyone could on all-around strengths of the 1911.....

How about the Sig Sauer STX 1911? Or Wilson Combat?

they don’t b/c women can’t hold the gun well and don’t like the rounds’ intensity.

that’s why the 40 cal’s exist today.

The 1911 is the perfect weapon.....if you ever run out of ammo, you can beat the enemy to death with it.
