I carried the old M1911A1 while serving in the U.S. Army. I have never handled the new versions or shall we say styles similar to the M1911(Zero Experience). I always thought of the old gun, with due respect, as antiquate.
So, here is my question. How close to the original are all the new guns on the market? I realize there maybe some closer than the others to original (shall we say). Are they actually the same or just in the style of the original? All my pesonal guns are either Berettas or Sig. They handle and shoot much better than any of my Army M1911s.
Unless the newer guns called 1911s are much better and different, why do they have such a popularity?
I do enjoy loading and shooting the .45 ACP round. I should try one of the newer ones, but have had an adversion to it. Although, it is hard to overlook the popularity of the new pistols.
