I'm a passionate supporter of freedom, including gun rights, but a novice to actual hands-on gun use.
I know that many consider the 1911 to be the best semi-auto handgun (perhaps best handgun period) ever made. I'll have to rent the Springfield 1911 they have in the rental collection at a local gun shop to see what all the fuss is about, but would like to hear from those who love or hate 1911s to see what they have to say.
-What makes a 1911 better than other .45 Autos?
-If you don't like 1911s, then what gun would you feel is a better alternative?
-Do 1911s allow you to cock the hammer to fire the first shot SA or are you forced to use DA on the first round?
Thanks for any imput.
