How about an M1911A1?

“How about an M1911A1?”
Nah. That newfangled thing will never last.
The Brits just replaced the Hi Power with the Glock for their service pistol. I would be pretty surprised if we did not go with some type of polymer pistol.
That’s what I was thinking, too.
The M1911A1 was the sidearm recommended by US military armorers everywhere many moons ago and sounds good today (until a .46 caliber model comes available).
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!
I would consider it if they can figure out how to build an M1911A1 out of lighter materials. I’ve actually picked up a real M1911A1 and that thing is not in the light department.
A question for the overall good of the debate. Would you rather enter a combat zone with a guarantee that you will encounter the enemy, armed with a 20 mm anti tank gun and a single round of ammunition, or a .22 LR with 500 rounds of ammunition? Just curious. I know which one I would choose.
