Now if the Army would do the same. The only reason soldiers ‘couldn’t hit anything with it’ was that they were not actually trained on how to use it. My platoon sergeant taught me how to aim and fire it and I qualified expert that same day. You actually have to aim it, quite simple, just look/site down your arm at your target and squeeze. most soldiers just waved the .45 in the general direction and shot, thus the inaccuracy.

Thanks for the ping. I also liked the Colt .45 M1911.

These pistols are for Marine special operations I believe, the Army special ops also use the .45 as far as I know.

Same thing happened to me. Turned out Sarge really did know a thing or two!
