semiautomatic pistol designed by John Moses Browning.


Excellent write-up snipped for brevity only.

You forgot to mention that the M1911 is, still, the *only* firearm shown to
pass the tests that resulted in its adoption.

While many have complained about the "looseness" of the fit of its parts,
the M1911 remains the only handgun that will function in spite of mud, sand,
etc., under the most extreme conditions.

In "the moment of truth" the M1911 *will* function properly. GRIN

BTW, an M1911A1 fits each of my hands perfectly...
