There's one thing to like about gunbashers - the firearm they love is almost always destined to become obsolete, commonly because the imaginative, creative designer gets it better in a later model.
Those suffering arrested development then miss out on the better answer to actual tactical needs.
The Browning Hi Power was a better answer for years until an Austrian cabinet hardware mogul came up with a new design, in molded polymer. Meanwhile a German sewing machine maker got a nice start and came out with their truly unique designs.
Nothing wrong with liking old stuff, people own more horses now as pets than in 1911. Of course, nobody congests the freeway with them because they can't handle modern demands.
Inspect any armory, and single shot single stack auto's are scarce for a reason. Just don't point that out to a fanboy. Like Chevy owners, they celebrate the concept they can buy all sorts of high tech bandaids to improve the performance that the basic design left out.
It's practically the basis of the gun industry.
