I still believe the 1911 is by far the easiest pistol to shoot well outside of .22 target pistols. For years and years most of my practice was with DA/SA pistols like the SIG and HK USPs. Then I started fooling with 1911s which I had hated for years because of their heft and unreliability--then I got my hands on a reliable one. To this day I believe the same man who actually tries will shoot more accurately with a 1911 under pressure.
That being said, I carry a J-frame which may be the worst possible combination of trigger, weight, shape, etc for shooting because ultimately it is about having a gun with you more than absolute mechanical precision, power and/or capacity.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
