The Tommy gun gun is one as well, I have a couple Marines that we’re actually combat veterans and they don’t worship their 1911s, more trying to forget god rest one of them’s soul.The auto loader never were considered here until the 80’s and I know most know this.   The BG’s caused the changed as they started using them in the 70’s, Glock made the mainstream IMO, spin it all you want.Lets let the Nam vets tell us how their 1911 saved em, I know there’s a few as their crappy M16’s failed, as they weren’t all that in the 60s either from those I know.All of them are much improved IMO……..<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" />  I would rather have a German P38 as memorabilia from WWII….</blockquote>
