[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2716229, member: 30309"] Here, let me help: When it came out, there was no other options out there. It was brand new technology. kinda l like the first Single Action Armies that shot brass cased ammo. However, gun technology hasn't changed that much. the same brass cased ammo is being shot today as was being shot when it was invented. propellants have changed, and jackets invented, but it's still a lead slug on top of a brass case. If you look at a Glock, an XDm or a M&P or a 1911, they all work exactly the same way on a fundamental basis. spent brass is grabbed and spit out after being fired. they all use a slide, they all use extractors, they all use a spring actuated magazine, recoil spring, firing pin and trigger. Sure, there is a difference between striker fired and hammer fired - but they both just smack a primer to initiate the process. Technology hasn't advanced as far as you think. The last MAJOR advancement was the creation of a self-loading semi-automatic action, which all modern slide actuated handguns use. I think it's fair to say that if firearm technology advanced at the same pace as telephone technology - with the same number of massive innovations - we would all be shooting laser or energy weapons.. . . the i-gun perhaps. BUT: there haven't been that many innovations. AND: unlike bag phone which are not capable of being in service today due to technology advancements, the 1911 still shoots the original, currently produced and widely distributed .45 Auto Pistol round. If you found ammo from that very first batch of commercial made rounds, it would function in todays modern firearms as well as any 1911, assuming it was good ammo. Try turning on that bag phone and report back what happens. . . NUTHIN' Thats funny right there. especially after your first post said this: Seems to me that exactly what you're saying. Oh, and FWIW, the revolver has been around far longer than any 1911. Should they all be mothballed as well? [/QUOTE]
