I absolutely like what I have read so far about 1911 45.I am a Revolver guy and always have been .when I was in the Army I fired the colt 45's and never enjoyed them and stuck to firing M130Cal Carbine and carried it regularly.Currently I have several Colt's including my Favorite gun my 1969 colt Python.I'm getting ready to buy another pistol and Im looking very closely at the Colt 1911 I do need some encouragement to do so.I think my Python is unbeatable for safety and accuracy. Although I'm afraid to fire it as often as I do and should keep my Queen in the safe .Hence the need for another reliable gun mostly for my range visits and home protection
