Personally I love the 1911. But then I don't plan on using it to defend my life.
Personally. I think I could still lug a BAR and a couple bandeleros. Maybe a beretta handgun-wise. I like the 1911 too.
Sorry I was meaning that in a general sense.
I love my Kimber 1911 Super Custom Carry. It is my preferred carry gun. I have shot with it for years and never had any problems. No miss-fire, failure to feed, or stove piping.
Glocks do not fit my hand. The Gen 4’s are better but if I wanted large capacity I’ll take my Sig 226.
I think military operators ought to have whatever they want as long as the armory has the ammo.
Love my 1911 - over 100 years old and still a sweet shooting weapon. The extra rounds in the Glock makes more sense though - 17 vs 7 is a big change.
