[The Comedian]

the 1911 is 100 years old and hasn’t been topped yet.

See, that's exactly how I feel. I've fired and owned most handguns known to man.

Nothing does it for me like good ol' .45 slab-sides. The way it carries, handles, recoils, reloads, field strips, everything. If God had a handgun, it would be a 1911.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Perhaps. If John Moses Browning had access to modern materials, he would have designed a Glock.

The Glock 17 is simply an updated John Moses Browning design.
