1. In the beginning was the 1911, and the 1911 was THE pistol, and it was good. And behold the Lord said, "Thou shalt not muck with my disciple John's design for it is good and it workith. For John made the 1911, and lo all of his weapons, from the designs which I, the Lord, gave him upon the mountain."

2 "And shouldst thou muck with it, and hang all manner of foul implements upon it, and profane its internal parts, thou shalt surely have malfunctions, and in the midst of battle thou shalt surely come to harm."

3 And as the ages passed men in their ignorance and arrogance didst forget the word of the Lord and began to profane the 1911. The tribe of the gamesman did place recoil spring guides and extended slide releases upon the 1911 and their metal smiths didst tighten the tolerances and alter parts to their liking, their clearness of mind being clouded by lust.

4 Their artisans did hang all manner of foul implements upon the 1911 and did so alter it that it became impractical to purchase. For lo, the artisans didst charge a great tax upon the purchasers of the 1911 so that the lowly field worker could not afford one. And the profaning of the internal parts didst render it unworkable when the dust of the land fell upon it.

5 And lo, they didst install adjustable sights, which are an abomination unto the Lord. For they doth break and lose their zero when thou dost need true aim. And those who have done so will be slain in great numbers by their enemies in the great battle.

6 And it came to pass that the Lord didst see the abomination wrought by man and didst cause, as he had warned, fearful malfunctions to come upon the abominations and upon the artisans who thought they could do no wrong.

John Moses Browning (peace be upon him). A stone cold genius. Second only to Samuel Colt in America's pantheon of inventors.

Why do I love the .45ACP round so much? Because they don't make a .46ACP.

That's sig-worthy right there! :texan:

I'm a .357 magnum guy myself. It's all about shot-placement.
Well, until I get a 1911. Seems like everybody that has one, it turns into their instant favorite.

I don't have a 1911, though I sure wouldn't mind having one, but it does seem that those who have them have an almost sentimental attachment to them.

I like the 1911, but I ain't near proficient enough to carry anything cocked and locked....which is the ONLY way to carry a 1911 from what I hear.
