No that is not a joke about something else,  but I have been shooting Glocks almost exclusively over the last year and it’s nice to go back to what I really love and have fun and not have to deal with the high paced tactical shooting programs that I have often had to deal with.   The 1911 still is King at the IDPA courses and that’s not going to change anytime soon.   There is something really addictive about the thunk of a 45acp round exiting a firearm and it’s not just the design, it’s the power that you can feel.   I will leave the ballistics debates up to the gun boards, but for knocking down steel targets, the 1911 is the ruler target drops.

I recently watched a video from Magpul Industries and Travis Haley mentioned that he did door knocking with a 1911 and actually used it in combat.   I’ve switched up to Chip McCormick magazines lately just to see if they are as reliable as the Wilsons Combat magazines that I have used for so many years. I just think its good to brush up on the #1 close up fighting pistol that so many Special Operations guys use.   The 1911 is still going strong in the military and the magazines and improvements have made it far more reliable than the original design.
