Just because they are the best selling pistols, and the most used in "competition" has totally nothing to do whether or not they are the best for another persons self defense needs.
Nothing.
Yes, I believe I tried to make that clear when I started this thread. Nor are they the piece of outmoded or cheap junk that some people want others to believe.
Let me be clear. Here's the Cliff Notes version of my original post:
a. 1911's and Glocks are the best selling guns in America among civilians and competition shooters.
b. They work well for a lot of people.
c. They are not necessarily the "Best" or "Perfection".
I'm hoping for less emotion about all this on all fronts. Period. At least for this thread. These are all inanimate objects folks. Its not a football team, favorite rock band or political pundit. Its entirely your fault if you choose to attribute some kind of stigma based on your narrow (sensitive) emotions. The object is utterly dumb to whatever good or bad feelings you may have about it.
Here's a novel concept:
Just because something either works for you or doesn't work for you doesn't mean others will have the same exact experience.
