Exactly. I was doing my best impression of an anti-2A doofus.
To be specific, Albuquerque and Santa Fe elected her. :(
The billboards are not that blunt but as I entered New Mexico from both sides, there were very large billboards stating how New Mexico supports abortion.
The communist governor of N.M., Michelle Lujan Grisham, is an automatic idiot who needs to be fired...
“When did the Colt 1911 enter service?”
To my knowledge, the 1911 was being used in the military by officers as early as 1911 but it was a semiauto and not the auto I was talking about.
It was a good sidearm weapon and was replaced by the army in 1986 by the Beretta 92 due to cost over the Sig 226. The Navy purchased the 92S. Cost, cost,cost...

“...which terms the Colt 1911 as an automatic.”
“The first automatic, magazine-fed pistol adopted by the U.S. Army, the Colt M1911 is a single action, semi-automatic, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 caliber A.C.P. (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge.”

“America’s enduring Model 1911 .45-cal., semi-automatic pistol remains a landmark sidearm more than a century later.”

The army went to the 1911 as they needed something with more impact than the .38. It is their first automatic fed but single pull pistol I believe moved away from the traditional 6 shot cylinder to the feeding magazine. I guess everything Browning made was supposed to be considered automatic because of the feeding chamber. But it was a single pull.
