How about an M1911A1?

No way!

The metrosexual pussies can't wrap their girlie hands around it, so...pfftt!

Plus, who the hell would pay for all the 9mm NATO Ball for all the other NATO "partners", if we went back to a .45 ACP Ball?

Obviously, they don't use anything but that weak piece of crap 9mm, and since we converted, they sure as hell ain't gonna pay for the manufacture of it.

The 1911 platform is the best system ever invented and the best one we will ever have for individual handgun issue weapons.

We don't need no plastic Glocks, we don't need no "blow up in your hand" piece of crap Beretta, Mr. Sig and Mr. Sauer can keep their .40 caliber tin can punchers.

What we need is a man's gun...the almighty 1911A1!

It is what Mr. Browning would have wanted.

(And it's what I carried for 20 years and qualified expert with every time I had to qualify.)

So there!

In addition to its stopping power the 1911AI is reliable in very adverse conditions, eg rain dust mud extended use without cleaning etc

When I was in 2nd ACR we only had the M1911 and I looked it better than the Beretta we were trained with in basic. I always scored expert with it and found it to be a better weapon than the Beretta. I only had one malfunction with it when the receiver broke in two while qualifying my first time. The back half hit my kevlar and an inch lower I would have lost an eye or worse. Considering that the serial on it was 50000 it was a very old weapon so that is probably why that happened.
