Quester, I think it's because the 1911 has been in so many war movies and people with 1911's have spent a lot of time and money on them so that they will shot well, that when other people on the range see 1911's perform they have to go out and get one. It's like a glock owners, if you don't have one you aren't sh**. That's not the way it should be, if the gun works for you good if it doesn't ok too. I know my P90 is a laser @ 25yds., but everyone puts Ruger's down. I shot better with the P90 than my Sig 245, how's that for a slap in the face and the Sig cost twice as much. All I am saying is that there are other guns out there to look at. I am still wondering about a CZ in 45acp
