I can appreciate the looks and history behind the gun, no doubt. I don’t hate any gun that goes boom, but if I wanted a jam-o-matic, I’ll save some money and buy a Keltec. Don’t get me wrong, the 1911 had its time. So did the flintlock, and I don’t buy one of those either. Although I can totally understand people who use one in the army and want one for nostalgic purposes, I think that the weight to capacity ratio disqualifies it as a carry gun nowadays. From a purely practical/efficiency point of view, it’s a turd. The fanboys of the 1911 are worse than the Glock ones, and that’s saying something. it might’ve been cutting edge 100 years ago, but it doesn’t really hold a candle to modern firearms in terms of reliability, and reliability should be numero uno priority on any handgun, except for safe space wasting range toys.
