"Of course that configuration isn't a tack driver but then the M1911 was designed for close
in use. Longer distances, use a rife."

Good point, Wes. But an accurized 1911 or one of the new clones will "shoot" with a lot more
accuactely than the average person can hold it.

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 re'mains 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...
