"Having used a .45ACP on a daily basis for business and pleasure for over 45 years, I likely have forgotten more than you will ever know about the pistol. Expose your self to a .45 ACP_at 100 yards and you are dead. At 200 yards you are going to really hurt if not die right now and will probably stop using bad language. I can demonstrate that business on demand but that is me and I am just a beginner with the 1911."

LOl, well aren't you just soooo wonderful and SMART as well!!

I simply passed along my experience with the weapon. The accuracy part was something TOLD to me by the instructor, likely an exaggeration but not a big one from my experience as well as that of others on the range. I was in the USAF, not Special Forces and as a USAF guy not overly involved with weapons since I served the entire time in the UK where the rules fore even CARRYING a weapon were unreal. We went to the range once each year and fired off about 8 rounds from the 45, a few from the 38 we normally carried and a full clip from the 30 cal carbine. That was it.

Yes I am and good looking too.

You would do well to have a little more experience before accepting exaggerated claims from those who are no more experienced than you and passing them on as your own experience or fact. Your own statement concerning the pitifully insufficient training you received and successive lack of experience is no basis for forming an opinion. This kind of ineptitude is what got us the M9 pistol and will likely get us another similar hand gun.
