COLT in his inherent wisdom and understanding, built the 1911 on a 5" bbl. design.
Yes, we have seen and probably owned the "Commander", "Officer" or other length of barrel and grip in 1911 form, but the TRUE 1911 IS AND WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE...
Stainless Luger in 9mm or .45acp...
(obviously these are modern repros (I think by "American Eagle Ind."), but I would love to own one...)

Took buddies new Ruger .454 Cassull to the range, loaded it up with full power .454 loads, quietly peeked around wall at everyone going "pop, pop pop" with their 9mm`s ...
BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...
Looked around wall again...:D
(Everybody was looking , but with the SAME look on their...
jimbo,
I LOVED my S&W Model 39-2 9mm.
It only holds 8 in the mag, but it is STILL one of the few guns that has a Special / Personal place in my heart (nostalgic)...
I would buy one in a heartbeat, if I could find a decent one in good shape... (disliked the Model 59 for some reason, the...
One should carry/use whichever gives him/her PIECE OF MIND...
(Piece of mind is priceless)
As for "Reliability", nowdays with the advances in "Auto" designs, and the Precision Manufacturing processes used to such tight +/- tolerances, you will probably not have any trouble in your moment...

Spelling...
"mute" = "MOOT" (meaning inconsequential or without effect - "doesn`t matter" )
"sence" = "SENSE"
(Don`t you just hate it when people nitpick... :D )
Just heckling ya...

P.S. I know you from TFL...;)
Navyjoe & Devonai,
I understand what you are saying, I was merely trying to point out that getting shot is a definite possibility, and like training to clear stoppages / malfunctions (so you don`t "freeze up" when / if it happens) you also should train to be mentally prepared that despite ALL...
I wrote the following on another thread, (Instinctive Shooting) and wonder what other people / Members think about this "mindset", as it is something that I have "Trained" for and feel Confident about...

REMEMBER, You WILL...
I have been fortunate enough to "Inherit / and Aquire":
Springfield M1 Garand (Factory Rebuilt Ser# 600,000 range Mfd 1942)
Ruger Mini-14 Stainless
Romanian SAR-1
Bushmaster XM15-E2 Shorty (Pre-Ban) (Looks just like M-4 except it has 5" Flash Suppressor...)
Springfield 1903 30'06...
I own a COLT 1991A1 (old rollstamp), and the only thing I did to it, (besides put some nice grips on it) was tune the extractor...
NOT because I had to, but because I COULD...(I like to be able to catch my brass in a bucket due to the "accurate" ejection from a finely tuned extractor..) ;)...
You can kick my dog...
You can spit on me...
You can even sleep with my wife,
BUT DON'T MESS WITH MY 1911 COLT .45 !
JMHO,
Howard
