So those who do no agree with your first statement are refusing to "accept reality or facts?"Today's polymer guns are so vastly superior in nearly every way to the 1911 that it shouldn't even be a question.
Not sure what drives people to refuse to accept reality or facts.
Hmm. Kindly enumerate the ways in which polymer guns are so vastly superior.
Weight? Magazine capacity? Average or median price point? Sure, the plastic pistols are superior for those who cannot be bothered to learn a firearm's operating system or how to perform any maintenance beyond a field-strip, perfunctory cleaning and oiling. Sure, the plastic pistols are superior for those who don't require a great trigger or even know what one is like, and for sure, plastic pistols are great for those who simply punch some holes in paper on a static range once a month and don't see the need to have a fighting weapon personally tailored to their individual needs or abilities.
I can think of several reasons that I believe make a good 1911 superior to most polymer pistols, but I'm not gonna denigrate those who do not agree with me.
Some of us appreciate a heavier gun. Some of us can easily conceal a full-size 1911. Some of us appreciate the 1911's trigger, which is second to none. Some of us have hands for which the 1911 fits better than any other gun. Some of us appreciate a timeless, efficient design, craftsmanship and the ability to constantly tweak the pistol to suit our fancy. Some of us favor blued or bright silver steel and fine wood stocks.
I fear that the fact there are more folks here than ever before who can't recognize the relevance of the 1911 is yet another sign that the Apocalypse is nigh...
