I love shooting the 1911! I had my dad's army pistol, an old Remington Rand, completely redone by Wayne Novak years ago and shot that for years in local training drills with Ken Hackathorn. I got a neat Wilson Combat CQB Elite 1911 in 9mm during the Obama years when .45 ammo was hard to get and I reloaded around 10,000 rounds that I shot with Hackathorn. My muscle memory is definitely set for the 1911 more than any other handgun.

So, I'll never tire of these old slab sides. I have never owned (and probably never will) any Glock. They just feel so weird with the trigger and grips. But, the 1911 doesn't need replaced for me. They are larger and heavier but make great side arms for carry.
