No need for name calling gents, let's discuss this like adults.

They should reissue the Colt SAA. strictly for the purpose of being badass.
I'm looking for a list of people that have guns that want to go up against old slab sides. Are you volunteering, or will you be a no show?
Sure, Glock 21. You want to buy the ammo?
You buy your own ammo. All you have to do is be willing to throw it in the bucket, get it good and dirty, shoot it and live with the consequences win lose or draw.
Hahah , are you going to call Mt Airy Biker ? Where the hell is he? He is the ultimate 1911 fanboi.
BTW whats in it for me, besides seeing you get major shrinkage
See my last post. Bring your tupperware out for a test and see where it stacks up.
Holy crap. These newbie know nothings are coming out of the woodwork tonight.
What's in it for you? I would suspect a reality check.
Yes, you would be. I guess you're not obtuse after all.
How about you respond to the substance of what everyone is saying and tell us all why the 1911 is the best combat handgun in the world? Make your case.
What does my post count have to do with anything? I just moved to MD and joined the board. Does that in some way diminish my view? Try responding to what I said.
While you are talking to some anonymous jerkweed about his experience with his 1911s, and reading some dubious internet report, I've actually been shooting 1911s for the last 20 years. Mine don't break, and they work every time I pull the trigger.
During the original government tests the 1911 went 6k rounds with zero malfunctions while being shot as fast as possible with a bucket brigade loading magazines. When the gun got hot they dunked it in a bucket of cold water, cooled it and shot it some more. The gun was cleaned and lubed every 600 rounds. That is good enough for me.
As I posted in another thread, we are going to have a put up or shut up test at a future MD Shooters get together. I'll shove one of my 1911s in a bucket of mud, sand, or whatever, and I'll shoot the shit out of it afterwards. What do you have to bring you are willing to throw in the bucket?

That is a bad, bad idea. The 1911 is many things, but it is not the best combat handgun in the world, which is what our men should have.
Nothing against the 1911 -- in fact I own a couple of them -- but it falls short of more modern guns in reliability, ease of use, ease of cleaning, ease of maintaining, firepower and durability. Yes, some 1911's have great triggers, but you can put a great trigger on anything.
To be clear, I am not saying that the M9 is the best, only that the 1911 most certainly is not.

Wow you are one classy guy. Calling a decorated Marine, military firearms instructor, NRA certified firearms instructor, and friend of mine an "anonymous jerkweed."
The original military guns were made by true craftsmen and had each part properly fitted. They were fantastic weapons with much looser tolerances than modern 1911's that are made by machines. Thats why the original ones would rattle when you shook them.
I really think you are letting your love for the platform cloud your judgment. Look at my avatar. What do you see? My Colt series 70 MK IV. Its a great gun, but it is definitely not me what I would grab if my life depended on it. And
I would be happy to dunk my P30 in whatever you want. Would you like to throw it 7 yds down range into a mud puddle first? Because I've already done both of these with this gun, so I could save you the time, it ran another 200 rounds that day ( the rest of the ammo I had) flawlessly. So please let me know when this meet and greet will occur.
Will you be throwing your gun in the muck or just gingerly placing it?
This has been done many times with most modern polymer pistols. Google Glock torture test and prepare to be amazed. I understand you like 1911's, but you don't need to be ignorant about how good modern pistols are.
And for the record, I'm pretty sure my modern, 17 round capacity handguns would destroy your 1911 in a mud eating contest.
Silence...............
It's funny how so many people talk smack about 1911s, but no one wants to do a straight up head to head reliability test in the mud and muck. I thought 1911s were so fragile and unreliable that it would be better to throw them at an enemy than to try and shoot them.
