What Makes a 1911 a 1911?

"Ergonomics. I really like the 11-degree grip angle. If I raise a 1911 towards a target downrange with my eyes closed, then open them, I’ll be pretty much on-target. A 1911 points naturally for me. I also like the circumference and grip size. It just works.

Single-action trigger. I like the combination of single-action operation and a non-hinged trigger. When I shoot, it’s easy for me to execute a smooth trigger pull."


The Glock 17's will never be thrown away, but I have really fallen back in love with the 1911 feel and follow up shots this last year or so.

Thanks for sharing the article, Brownie.

I agree, I have the sickness, too. So far anything I have shot, cannot top how I shoot with a 1911. Natural pointer and feels so right!

Wedding gift for me and wifey next month!
