Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I am of the firm belief
"It's your ass on the Line.. it's your decision alone to make."
anyone can sit back and make the "your gun is poop" arguments all day long, but whether you decide a Baer, G-Lock, lorcin or a jennings is your gun of choice... its your choice alone.

In my experience; If you shoot long enough........ you get over the 1911 and move on.
I was a die hard 1911 person. At one time I had 17 of them. At this time I don't own one.
My son has recently found the allure of the 1911 and was begging for one... but after shooting a couple already realizes its short comings compared to modern pistols.

I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
yep , you guys can have that fancy crap ill stick to my crappy 213 (tokarev) for defense . dont get me wrong i like my 1911's just fine but a tokarev has 0 pride of ownership and is a fine shooter once you get the hang of it .
Funny, this thread started out as a statment of the obvious between race guns and work, self defense guns.
It then turned into a 1911 versus the rest of the other guns.
Byte strike succintly summed it up right away.
Your gun=your ass. If it doesn't work when it is needed it doesn't matter how pretty, ugly, expensive or cheap it was because it just turned int oa family heirloom.
