Owning a 1911 is just like owning a car like a Mustang...
A Mustang is just fine as a medium level performance car as it comes from the factory in it's stock form.
A 1911 is the same.
A Mustang can be ordered from the factory with custom options that can enhance the look, feel, or performance of the car.
A 1911 is the same.
A Mustang owner more often than not will take the time and effort and money to buy "After Market" parts to further customize the Mustang regardless of how it came from the factory.
A 1911 is the same.
Customization is a personal thing between the owner and his beloved steel... Customization is mostly done fpr personal gratification and individualism than from a sheer performance angle.
A 1911 is the same.
It's the HOT RODDING syndrome... Its in American Blood. You can show examples of it - but you cant really explain it. To use a famous Harley quote:
"If I have to explain it to you - You wouldnt get it."
This is why 1911s are simply the coolest pistols.
This is why the hot rods are the coolest cars.
This is why the Milenium Falcon is the coolest spaceship.

For those here that scoff the 1911... You don't get it.
"If you dont know, I can't tell you."
