First of all, let me state that I am a 1911 man all the way. I have 4 of the little beasties. With all that said, my SIG P-220 will outshoot them as far as accuracy goes. I guess the point is, how much accuracy do you need in a combat handgun? I think minute of man would be sufficient. As most confrontations are stated to be within 7 yards, how much accuracy do you need? Under these circumstances, I want 100 % reliability. I don't figure I'll have time to bother with "tap, rack, bang" drills, thank you very much. A 1911 that does 6 inches at 25 yards is fine by me. Sure. I'd love to have one of those custom combat guns like the Thunder Ranch Special, or the copy of the FBI HRT .45. Frankly, my wallet says "No way!"
I enjoy shooting my .45s anyway.
