But is it the worst gun for cops, as some say?
It has seen action in wars ranging from World War I through to the modern era.
remember our original question?
The 1911 is one of if not the most iconic pistols of all time. But is it the worst gun for cops as some say?
How does it stack up for LE use?
The first element of the 1911 pistol anyone is going to bring up is the trigger.
No one has gotten it as good as a 1911.
But how does the modern 1911 stack up for LE use? Is it still as relevant a design as it was in 1911?
The second part making the 1911 so good is its ergonomics.
The less aggressive grip angle just fits most peoples wrists and body mechanics very naturally.
But why do I say making a comeback?
The linear pull of the 1911 trigger and the overall crisp feeling of it is something just about every other style of gun chases to this day.
Conclusion
The legacy and history of the 1911 is still being written to this day.
The only choice you have now is to pick the caliber for your new 1911!
