In my own little humble softspoken opinion, whoever said that is so full of crap their eyes must be bugging out....the 1911 fits most hands, has enough weight to absorb recoil well, has a natural point, has simple, logical controls, shoots a pussycat round, and that's just the bad points
the CARRYING of the gun requires common sense, care, and caution, because the intended way to carry it for defense is cocked-and-locked with a good holster....grasp, draw, and, as you bring it up, swipe off the safety....when finished...thumb up the safety....safely re-holster...I've seen grown men who could whup my butt scared of the .45-and a little tiny gal of 25 pick it up and, never having fired a handgun...hit the target almost every round...and tell me it was fun....go figure.....you'll love the 1911 style...I would not buy the alloy frame lightweights...personally I like the weight...but even they are easy to shoot....getchaone and have fun!!!
