For me its not about competitions, fun, or cost of ammo. It's about knowing i
have something that will stop whatever is coming at me.
But I do understand your point. It's also a mechanical - type firearm with
moving parts, which means there's opportunity for FTL and FTF... Unlock a
revolver which is pretty much never going to fail you.
Its a trade off between round capacity and reliability.
Some people don't like 1911s cuz of the grips, the dove tail, the size...
I don't know. Once i put one in my little man hands, i'll know if its for me or
not.
Recently I ran about a dozen rounds through a full sized Taurus 9mm and I have
to say it was probably the most comfortable handgun I've ever fired. smoooooth
and my shots were all grouped center mass. Like i wasn't even the one firing.
I say find something like that, something you like, and stick with it.
Thanks,
Zombie Mambo
