There is nothing wrong with liking 1911's. It's a historically important firearm with nice lines, ergos, balance and a sweet sweet trigger. If you wanted a solid mag fed carry gun then either this or a Browning High Power were probably the only reasonable choices during the first half of the 20th century.
Likewise there is nothing wrong with 45 ACP. It's a low pressure round that is easy on guns and brass, easy to reload, has a satisfying recoil impulse, and is a solid service caliber. Prior to the invention of reliable hollow points, reliable double stack magazines, and NATO adoption of 9x19 creating overwhelming economy of scale it was at least arguably the best of the major service calibers.
Where the Fuddism comes into play is where you let these perfectly legitimate strengths run away with your brain. The reality is that the guy in the stall next to you with a hunnit' dolla' hi-point is as well armed as you are, is rocking a deeper magazine, probably experiences fewer feed problems, and can afford to put two thousand rounds down range with the cash he saved by buying a gun that was engineered with modern manufacturing in mind.
I've been sexually involved with an HK45C for a few years now and it's honestly just about my favorite handgun.
8rds of .45 and mags are twice as expensive as 1911 mags. But damn does it make me happy.
I love this gun
Those argentian 1911's are made on colt tooling and are high quality. They used to be crazy cheap too, for basically WW1 colts in great condition

I carry a .45 too. Constantly.
It's just a German da/sa plastic frame sexbeast.
Nothing Fudd about perfection
Ehhh.
Fudds would have a huge ass beaver tail and long ass skeleton trigger with some stupid ass slogan engraved on the grips and an idiot scratch so ass deep your dog could jump in it to hide from the gAyTF.
Don’t forget landing 1/7 rounds anywhere on the paper.
This is common, but the old guys that can put all 8 in one ragged hole are not unheard of either. Those dudes have earned the right to bitch about modern degeneracy some. They may not understand true autism, but they aren't wrong about average testicle size not measuring up today.
Thanks babe I have a s&w m&p to but I carry the 45 because Big Bullet
I inherited one of those last year from my late Uncle. Also have the old 1911 my grandfather had probably dating back to WWII. I shoot them in the local Cold War match either with a FAL or PTR as the rifle.
If that’s your carry piece, yes.
