dumb question about 1911s

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!!!

a 1911 for a beginer.................

the advantage of a 1911 is that they are easy to shoot and hit with.........

the disadvantage of the 1911 is that they are easy to accidently shoot and un-intentionally hit with.......

when you throw in the word "beginer", unfortunately that sometimes comes in some cases with some serious baggage such as not willing to learn the controls, not practice safe gun handling, and not respecting the weapon system-----------all of which comes full circle back to the weapon being easy to shoot...........or.........not able to shoot as a person forgot to take the safety off in a critical defense situtation.


But as with any gun, not willing to fully understand the weapon, getting seriously aquainted with it, and knowing it, it can get you into trouble.

it is still a fine combat weapon..........but even our military had the troops carry it hammer down on an unloaded chamber for safety reasons----------not a fault or problem with the weapon--------but more of a lack of training and a lack of a proper holster for cocked and locked carry.
