You 1911 clingers....

The model A Ford was pretty bad ass back when it was new but technology has really made travel by automobile better and more efficient.

That's how I look at the 1911. A great design for it's time but why would I want to carry something that heavy that doesn't carry many rounds with a track record for less than stellar reliability?

Even JMB realized he could do better. That's why he made the Hi-power.
