I qualified with it in the Marine Corps and have hated it ever since. It will never be found in my arsenal.
To be fair, the ones you had to qualify with were probably old rattletraps by then. New and properly tuned 1911’s can be a lot of fun.

1911 is my Favorite Semi pistol but
For self defense it’s a revolver.

Why you haten on them,
If I might ask?
