Guns are cool 

Guns are cool

A hobby of mine since I can remember has been target shooting. I have always been an automatic pistol guy. Revolvers are cool and all but I prefer the auto pistols. First I liked the double action/Single action ones (such as Beretta, Sig etc...). Then I moved into double action only (read Glock). There was a while where i thought there was no better pistol than the Glock. I am still convinced it is one of the best, and probably the best pistol to carry on the job for law enforcement work. However recently I have been introduced into the world of single action pistols, and am liking what I am finding.

For Christmas, my gun collector dad gave me a 1911. For those of you that dont know what that is, its the side arm our military used almost exclusively for almost 80 years, and is still being used my some of our special forces guys in Iraq as we speak. It was originally made by colt but now there are a dozen companies that arguably make better versions of it.

What I like about this pistol is that it is an endlessly modifiable platform. Thats good for me because I love to tinker. The first week I had it I made sure I knew how to take it apart and put it together. I already put different grips on it and so on... In any case any of you shooters should look into the 1911. It makes a great carry gun too. It is thin enough that it just disapears wherever you want to put it. The 7-8 round capacity thing is my only complaint, but I think I can just carry extra magazines if it comes to it. How many times do you need to hit some one with a 45 before they drop anyhow? It is accurate as a mofo too so I ought to be fine if it comes down to it.
