just looking for some opinions, what's better the M1911 (Colt) or the M9. I'm gonna have to go with the 1911 just because of its time tested reliability, but what do you think?
Quoted for truth.Without stating its intended use it's impossible to give an intelligent response to your question.
Turn in your man card. That's on the cover over top of "Man Code."Page 18, section 2, paragraph 3a of the man code states: If you own two handguns one MUST be a 1911.
Wow! Start properly racking the slide then, I've dealt with M-9's for 18 years and never had an issue. Although I did watch a girl a few weeks ago (who was told multiple time DONT RACK LIKE THAT) close her finger in the chamber. She cried we laughed told her to start listening.My experiance favors the 1911. Their a simple, reliable,EFFECTIVE weapon and they just look better. One other thing is with the M9, Unless you have a gloved hand,they can bite right at the beginning of you index finger when you rack the slide or especially when your doin clearing drills. Once bitten,twice shy means they can/do effect your positive purchase on the slide which could be a liability if in life or death situation........ There it is ,my 2 cents.
