Even NRA is dissing 1911's now

This gal. Apparently the trophy wife came with a trophy.

Oh come on, it's love. Money and trophies never came into the picture. Er, oops......

This is the only guy that ever invented a gun.

At least that's what I read on the inter-tubes.

 

[Dawico]

Makes me want to dig my heels in even further to not get a Glock.

I get that you work in a highly modern and technical field where everything must work properly and you want to escape from that with your hobbies. I fully understand.

Can we get a "don't like" button?

Would you get trophy points or would they subtract?

Funny thing is he is regarded as a genius and his most popular design is the "gold standard" of pistol design but he himself was designing almost the exact opposite of it when he passed. He could see the truth of the faults of the 1911 but try to say that now and people lose their minds.

I didn't consider that.
Probably won't. Ever.

Like them magazine disconnects, do ya?

Am I the only one with 10 round magazines for 1911?

No Sir, you aren't.

Well, he's obviously done something right...

Hard to say what parts of the Hi-Power were his and what parts were Saieve's. But, one could look at the guns he made prior to the 1911 for clues. The grip safety wasn't in Browning's design, being added at the request of the US Army. But the trigger and thumb safety was his preferred design. Saieve was responsible for the HP pivoting trigger and double-stack magazine.

Does that make it ok then that I like my Hi Power too?

The answer is: Those that like them will say you have always been right, those that don't will never understand you.

Only if you also like Belgian waffles and FALs......

If we could mix the 1911 and Hi Power, maybe lighten it up with a polymer frame, even add a light rail and trigger safety it would be about perfect.

They both have good features. Discarding the bad ones is the key.
