No , no . no . You're supposed to post about how many empty cases you have and the thousands of primers , and enough powder to last a lifetime . If you're going to crap in a thread at least do it right .clank, clunk,clank,clunk,clank, clunk,clank,clunk,
Reloading... yet another aspect of the shooting sports to love!
I will help you out!!! lol I have so many primers and brass and powder stored up whenever I reload I actually make money it doesn’t cost me nothing!! It’ll probably last me three generations.. I think I’m up to 14 -5 gallon buckets of brass, cleaned and ready to go… if you’re not anywhere near that, I doubt you were prepared or any kind of shooter at all…No , no . no .

Well I guess I got bite by the 45 ACP reloading bug! Gathering stuff now to get ready and start soon.Do you reload ? I ask that because if I mention the price of ammo the reloaders will come out of the woodwork and .. you know .

Does that sound about right?
So why did the US military abandon the 1911 and switch to 9mm Luger and the Beretta M-9 starting in 1986?Pro - It's God's platform of choice.

Seriously?So why did the US military abandon the 1911 and switch to 9mm Luger and the Beretta M-9 starting in 1986?
Yes, humor me.Seriously?
My initial post was humor.Yes, humor me.
Ok, my bad. I thought you were serious.My initial post was humor.
I only have one 1911, it’s a commander sized Springfield emissary in 9mm. I think the 1911 is a great gun. My 9mm is extremely flat shooting because of the weight of the gun and low recoil of 9mm. 1911’s typically don’t hold many rounds mine only holding 9 +1 that being more than your traditional 45because of the single stack magazines however you can opt for a 2011 which is basically a double stack 1911.I figure pretty much everybody here knows more than I do about handguns. I've only owned a cheap Hi Point 9 and a Glock 9.
But something about a 1911 is attractive to me. I've literally never even held one.
What would you say are the good and bad points or if it's even advisable to buy one?
Thanks
Everyone here mentions recoil on it which again I might be the outlier again but the recoil of my 1911 is easier on me than the recoil of my M&P 9mm. Probably more of a pistol weight thing but the 1911 is more of a gentle shove where the 9mm feels more snappy to me.
I don't shoot my 1911 as much as my M&P but I like it and it has a place in my safe. Bonus is that the 45ACP shotshells also run well in it and it does the snakes really well with the bigger pellet size.

So I only have one 1911 and I love it. It’s a gun I can really appreciate. Mine is a commander sized Springfield emissary in 9mm. I opted for 9mm because 1911’s typically don’t hold many rounds and switching to 9mm gave me a couple more shots as well as the 1911 being a heavy gun and the 9mm having minimal recoil makes a 9mm 1911 extremely flat shooting. I will say as others have mentioned there are better options if you plan on concealed carrying it but for a fun quality gun the 1911 is great. If you want higher magazine capacity check out the 2011 which is basically a double stack 1911. Also some of the 2011s have composite frames and aluminum slides making them less prone to corrosion and lighter which are both a plus when choosing a carry weapon. Also the 1911 has a different grip angle than your Glock I like both but it’s definitely a change if Glock is all you are used to shooting. Just something to keep in mind. Wouldn’t hurt to go to the gun shop and feel a few to get an idea.I figure pretty much everybody here knows more than I do about handguns. I've only owned a cheap Hi Point 9 and a Glock 9.
