Indeed, and perhaps this is why those who would discount the 1911, favoring certain other brand names or platforms are quick to disparage the 1911: inside, they know they've tied themselves to a system with a mediocre, sometimes awful, trigger at best, are secretly embarrassed, so feel compelled to perpetuate disrespecting the 1911 as "obsolete" and "irrelevant."From my vantage point, the 1911 still sets the benchmark for what can be considered an excellent handgun trigger.
