You say "junk" but you don't say why that's what it is. You keep repeating "numerous design flaws" but somehow don't seem able to tell us what those flaws are, exactly. And since you want to talk about pesky facts, how about the ones you are pointedly ignoring? Like the fact that this "military junk" is still the choice of the FBI HRI, LAPD SWAT, some army Delta Force Units, or the above mentioned MEUSOC pistol? What about those facts?
You're simply being foolish. Something like the Chauchat machine gun, or the Japanese Type 94 handgun, for example, could be accurately termed junk. But a pistol that served on the front lines for 74 years, outliving several other generations of small arms, and which is still the first choice for many elite shooters, who can select their own gear from whatever is available, cannot, in any accurate or realistic sense of the term, be labelled as "junk."
You don't like the 1911. Fine, we get it. You like other guns better. That's perfectly okay.
But accept the fact that that is just your opinion, and many knowledgeable and skilled pistol shooters disagree with you completely.
