<p>I loved my old M1911 from my days in the Cav. I also enjoy the M9. </p><p> </p><p>My problem with the old 1911 used to be the loose slide, but for stopping power, if you could aim right, the 45 caliber beats the 9mm hands down.</p>

My Dept Head in Sugar Grove, WV was on the Navy Shooting Team and had a 1911 with a weighted barrel. Talk about a difference between night and day. I liked his competition 1911. The issue one sucked.

When I was in the USMC we had the 1911's - that had the stopping power you need. Even if you winged someone it would knock-em down. That is a plus, gives you the time to get into a better tactical cover position to finish the job if needed.

I've carried a 1911, both in service and to this day since 1969. It was the first handgun I had ever fired other than a "cowboy" like .22 when I was a youngster. We were taught by Marine instructors/DI's and they taught us right. I'm a better shot with a .45 than I am with any of my .357's or .40 cals. Over time, I became a crack shot and never places worst than 2nd in police combat contests with civilian PD's.
Today, I have 2 different Kimber models and a Remington R1 and enjoy shooting as often as I can at our local sportsman's club.
