Why 1911 Pistols are Gaining Popularity

Filed under 1911 Pistol
There are several reasons to why 1911's are a much more popular choice compared to other pistols. Here are some of the reasons why they are gaining popularity:
Reliability- 1911 have seen more reliability then Glocks, Smith & Wessons as well as Berettas. Even the army prefers reliability than accuracy as they do not need their weapons to fail in combat.
Design-Beautiful guns are made out of high grade metals with fine finishes. The Glock have one of the most badly designed guns and they have very limited options for dressing up the Glock. 1911 has a wide variety of finished, grip panels, engraving, components as well as other modifications that you can do in enhancing your gun appearance.
Uniformity vs. Individuality- 1911 are very individualistic as each of it has its on personality even if it is from the same manufacturer. For those who like individualism, the ability to have custom 1911 grips will be able to fulfill your needs. 1911 in the firearms industry is what the `57 Chevy is to hotrods or the P-51 Mustang to air racers, the ultimate platform for customization. For those who seek a personalized sidearm, the 1911 is one of the best platforms from which to begin.
Durability- The 1911 has a durability of 6000 rounds without failure and a well built 1911 can have about 50000 rounds and has impressive performance. Also, many of the 1911 are still functional and are one of the greatly desired collector’s items.
Accuracy- Accuracy is another reason why the 1911 are popular. Also, the 1911’s can be tuned for much better accuracy.
Trigger- The trigger for the 1911 is its greatest strength and weakness. The trigger of the 1911 is light, crisp and short. Very little muscle action is needed to break the trigger and the control is less of a problem on the 1911 than any double action or "Safe Action" system. The trigger of the 1911 is short enabling short, rapid fire. The 1911 also has a double safety system so if anyone ever forgets to apply the manual safety, the grip safety must be depressed and the trigger pulled for the gun to fire.
Weight and Capacity-One of the strongest features of the 1911 is the single stack grip. The 1911 is not as light as a Glock and can carry seven in its magazine while some wide-bodied version can hold up to 10 or 14 round double stack magazines.
Touchy-Feely-The greatest feature of a 1911 is its narrow grip and strong trigger configuration which is why it still remains popular. The narrowness of the handle makes it comfortably easy to wrap your hand around the pistol for a good and solid grip. Whether you have a big hand or a small hand, the narrow grip enables the trigger to e relatively closer to handle. Another benefit to the narrowness of the 1911 pistol grip is that it allows even the relatively large government models to be surprisingly easy to carry and conceal.
