I have to disagree Mike. I carry one. The 1911 was the standard US issue sidearm for all branches of the military for over 70 years. The testing done on it before it was adopted was substantial. I love the narrow frame due to the single-stack design. It makes carry a lot more comfy than many modern double-stack mag designs IMO. Plus modern reworking of the original 7 round mag gets you an 8 round mag, +1 in the chamber nets 9 rounds of .45 ACP. Plus, they feel so natural in my hand. I'm a huge 1911 fan.

I've used 5 different types of FMJ ammo, today got a jam after 30 rounds on a freshly cleaned pistol.
My mags work fine on other 1911s (tested on a Sig Spartan 1911)
I do love the way the 1911 shoots, too big for me to conceal (chubby kid + slim jeans) but i have the HK for that anyway
