Is the 1911 obsolete?

Pub: Adjust Your Medication

In Pub's defense, I remember a therapist counseling a married couple... the wife would often interrupt and yell at her husband: "Your so stupid!" The therapist would always remind her that everyone is entiltled to their opinions and we should not judge them as stupid no matter how absurd they are.

Of course, we ain't therapists, and your opinions are kind of stupid....:p
 
I'm sorry, but I thought the purpose of this forum was to allow people to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different guns and gun designs.

And the purpose of your post was to generate flames and dissent. Perhaps you should stay out of the kitchen if you don't like the smell of what you have baked.

The 1911 and .45 ACP round will be obsolete when its users abandon it, not because you say it is. No sign of that happening anytime soon.

By the way, the ability to print words on the internet requires no license... but it should require a modicum of common sense.
 
Okay, all right... I think the gentleman has heard enough.

Loud & Clear, i would hope. ;)

Mr. Moderator, the ax please...

I'm with dsk on this one. Any handgun has a singular, concerted task to perform. It must be able to deliver a projectile to its target with a high level of repeatablility. For a self-defense handgun, the effectiveness of that projectile is of some concern (more of interest to "us" than to the casual layman). I just can't see any handgun as obsolete if it meets the above criteria.

My Colt .45's have always excelled at doing exactly what they were designed to do - allow me to hit what I aim at at any resonable distance, whenever I want, with a reasonably authoritative punch. And, they make me look really, really sexy;) .

Handguns may have "evolved", but my hand sure hasn't, and a 1911 feels in the palm as though it's had a million years of "natural selection". As to the .45 ACP round, well, humans haven't evolved much in 91 years (except that our pinky toes are a little shorter, really!) ; a 230 grain slug still makes a big hurt when it hits.

Deep thoughts, as usual:cool:

I have about had it with these "My Gun Rules and Your Gun Sucks" threads, people.

If you want to hang with folks who only own and love one kind of gun, there are other web forums for just that purpose.
