Not counting the 74 years of standard issuance in the military, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone with a decent collection of ten or more firearms that doesn’t own at least one. Not to mention that nearly every mainstream firearms manufacturer (Colt, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, SIG Sauer, and many others) makes a version of one. It’s easily the most cloned handgun in existence worldwide, even more than the CZ-75 and the Browning Hi-Power. If we’re going by the Webster’s definition of “mainstream“ here, it can’t possibly get any more mainstream than a 1911. It might not have taken over the world, but then again, no handgun ever has or ever will.</p></blockquote><p></p>
