9mmLuger,
First off welcome to THR's forums.
Second, my personal experience with the 1911 platform & the .45 ACP cartridge dates back to the late 1970's.
Granted I have had "affairs" with other calibers in other handgun platforms but none of them have had the longetivity or intensity of my love affair with 1911's & the .45 ACP cartridge.
It has nothing to do with historical nostalgia or ME/MV numbers, it has to do with the way they feel in my hand, the natural instictiveness of the balance & pointability, the short, crisp, single action trigger, the mild recoil, the superb accuracy & even the rock solid reliability that so many on internet forums seem to enjoy bemoaning & berating.
Dont like 1911's or the .45ACP cartridge? that's cool dont spend your money on them.
But dont try to convience me that my 30 someodd years of my own personal experience with them is somehow misguided or wrong.
