This is one of my favorite quotes I have come to read on OSA mainly due to the last sentence in bold.

Problem with that theory is that you have SEVERAL DSMs posted on your site. Just pointing a bit of irony since the car analogy always has to make its way into the discussion.
I think we get that by now. I'm sure they will take into consideration that some guy behind a computer thinks he knows what's best for their needs.
You're really looking for validation eh? But no.... I get why they want it and I would MUCH prefer the platform over a M9 or even a number of .45 polymer platforms. Especially considering it's for a more specialized purpose. Sorry this upsets the gear queer crowd.
Public transportation is really the way to go.
Well, vocalize it! Help me change my mind - help me see the "light".
Cons
Finicky mags
Finicky extractor
Questionable "drop" safety.
Heavy all steel
45 acp is questionable in "killing" superiority and unquestionable in limiting capacity (over 9mm NATO)

You can get more people on the bus.
Uhhhh, no, it is not, particularly when both weapons are loaded with GC compliant ball ammunition. You must be in the big platform/small projectile camp? Less recoil doesn't hurted my paw?
All of the problems you cited are fixed in newer 1911's if you spec them right. Colt even makes a LW XSE Rail if the full steel is just too heavy. Furthermore a double-stack .45ACP is not appreciably larger in the grip than the M9 if capacity is a big issue.

First off, let it be known. I love the 1911 platform with every ounce of my being. AS a part of my private collection. I also would never own a Beretta 92. I'm not a fan of it at all AS a matter of personal preference.
Now, I personally carry an M9 (beretta 92 9mm) daily and I would curse the military every day I lived for forcing me to carry a 1911. Not because it's heavy, or because of the choice of caliber. But because in a situation where you need rounds, you only get 8. Their torture test isn't exactly awe inspring either. Ive put plenty of rounds through my M9, shot expert all of those times, and see absolutely nothing wrong with the paltform. These things have had thousands of rounds put through them, the finish is worn off, it's not pretty, it's beat to hell, but it ****in works. And if it ain't broke boys...

Sir, as you can see, your use of logic and reasoning will most likely not be welcome here. Please only refer to fandom and/or attitude as a basis for argument.

Hah good copy. in that case... the 1911 was perfect 100 years ago, and I own one so it must be the best. Thus, the marines will magically win all battles because let's be honest, the 1911 shoots itself and makes everyone an expert marksman.
