Some marines get 1911s
Military men aren’t happy with the Beretta 9mm. But some marines are getting 45ACPs.

Debating the superiority of the 1911 vs. the Glock makes for interesting discussion, while debating the 1911 vs. the Beretta M9 would be brief.
I bought a Beretta 96 and a 92 Elite, and couldn’t stand either one of them.
I traded them for 1911s.

I love my 92FS. It feels like a proper handful (I have never held a 1911 that felt right in my hand), and I’m confident in the 147-grain Hydra Shoks.

Heh, same here, about the trading, but I liked my 96 Brigadier. I wish I hadn’t sold it. Where shooting the 1911 is kinda like driving a muscle car, the Beretta feels more like a big luxury cruiser.

I think this about settles it for me: “The time needed to fire off a second round to incapacitate the enemy can mean life or death.”
I believe in the double tap, but would rather have the second shot to be “insurance” instead of necessary.

Isn’t the specific gun they are talking about the Kimber Warrior?

I have a Warrior, and good Lord I think it’s great. I have a Beretta 96D, but I don’t like the long trigger pull of DAOs (pistol shoots just fine though). Plus, I just like .45 ACP.
