At every discussion about the sacred 1911 I often wonder why, if this is the absolute best pistol design, why J.M. Browning went on to design the Browning Hi Power 9mm.......
Everyone knows that we would be speaking German bacuse a group of 1911s single-handedly stormed the beaches of Normandy and fought Charlie. That is what makes a 1911 a far superior weapon to any and all polymer weapons, especially Glock. Because the 1911 was winning wars by itself before Gaston was even born.

If the 1911 designed by John Moses Browning didn't exist, we'd all be talking about the Savage 1907 .45acp (which would likely have been called the 1911 when the US Army adopted it).
I think it was a joke and he forgot to post a disclaimer for the literalists.Ah. One of the guys that thinks handguns win wars. They don't. They're almost not even a factor in war. Most infantry WW2 weren't even issued pistols, iirc.
If 1911 never existed, what would be the current best handgun that shoots 45acp?
