Only if I can post this:

My thoughts exactly.

It's not a grip safety, it's a beavertale

It's not a grip safety, it's a beavertale

My mistake.

I carry and train with a firearm to protect me and my family. I also train against mutiple targets in low light and no light scenarios.

Gecko45 would be proud, except for all the irrational whining about muzzle flash.

I carry and train with a firearm to protect me and my family. I also train against mutiple targets in low light and no light scenarios. That being said would you choose a weapon that offers a low round count with heavy recoil and a large muzzle flash I.E. 1911, or would you choose something that has a high round count, low recoil with minimal muzzle flash I.E. Glock 9mm etc..

This thread could be argued to death but I know a few things. I know I want more than 8 rounds in my first magazine and I know I dont want to have to manipulate not 1 but 2 external safeties to get my gun to fire. Under a stressfull situation this is not acceptable. I train to hard to give myself the disadvantage a 1911 offers when dealing with controlling the recoil to move to the next target quickly and try to see my front sight through a blinding muzzle flash. All in all I do not like them for a carry gun. I think they are everything a carry gun should not be.

Round count? Seriously? You want to play this game with the 1911? You realize that the 1911 was slaying bodies way before the designer of "the" Glock was crapping his diapers? Also you do realize that a 1911 can be in a 9mm, 40 S&W, and others?

Feel free to attempt to tell me all about what "you know"

I'm all ears.....
