Here's an article about a former Unit member who is building some really nice hard use 1911s.

Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
Great article, Sam.
Pat McNamara was Delta Selection and Training Sergeant Major after Brian. He is a Distinguished Pistol Shot as well, and won a Secretary of the Army M1 Trophy Rifle as Novice Champion at his first All-Army Championships.
Greg Coker, the gunship pilot, is a survivor of a surface-to-air missile hit on a Little Bird. The subsequent crash-landing broke his back. Part of his convalescent leave was training at the Army Marksmanship Unit building 3-gun weapons (rifles, carbines, and pistols).
Rob Garrett, author of the article, is a retired Columbus, Georgia (outside Fort Benning) police lieutenant.
Interesting, I didn’t know any of that stuff about Pat. I also didn’t know that we had any birds shot down by SAMs. It doesn’t really surprise me, but I do wonder what percentage of downed aircraft is attributable to guided missiles. That’s also an awesome job to do while in recovery.

I get nostalgic for .45 too and I've seen it work quite well on human beings. But I've actually seen .40 be a lot more effective with a lot more rounds. I liked the G21 but I have a huge hand and it still feels fat.
Anyways 1911s are like extensions of personality. That's not a bad thing but its still a thing. Most people who tote a 1911 either really know what they are doing or they really dont.
JMHO
ETA I would still take a 1911 over a 320 though just on principle alone

It's cute watching soyboys come into a thread about 1911s and shit on the gun that people literally spend thousands of dollars trying to turn their tupperware into.
Don't get me wrong - the tupperware guns are great and if I were running a police department or military organization, I'd be issuing Glocks.
At the end of the day, though, there are only two types of semi-automatic pistols: 1911s and pistols that aspire to one day be 1911s.
