I love 'em.

It's hard to explain to someone who isn't "infected".

I've always considered 1911's as having a "bad boy" image for the simple reason that in the back of your mind you're always thinking "this thing is going to mess up here pretty quick". I really doubt that a completely, 100% reliable 1911 exists.

I don't like to talk about it, but I think every time I pull a 1911 trigger and it goes bang, I sorta think..."well I'll be damed!"

The only tine my 1911 jams is when I use cheap reloads. Even then not very often. You have to man handle a 1911. If you go all limp wristed on it it will punish the user for not having confidence.

Here's a true conversation, from about 2005:

SouthNarc: That a stock Commander?
Me: Yeah.
SouthNarc: It runs, man.

If you don't know who SouthNarc is, look him up.
