So I gotta ask ... Why so many 1911s??

LOL did someone #### in your serial this morning?
Let me ask you something, if your precious Glock was made by 500 different manufacturers, would you be able to take parts from one and swap to another? (before you try, here a hint - this is rhetorical)
As per needing to be tuned out of the box, yep it does for my purposes - but for tacticool kids like you I am sure its still an exponential improvement
You can espouse all that 'striker guns are less forgiving and require a better shooter' BS all you want but we both know how many of these turds make it to the top 10 in USPSA or IPSC. Just out of curiosity, which design dominates here? (again this is rhetorical)
I can see you talk the talk, but can you also walk? Do you actually compete? If so how far up the list are you after how long?
And if not, lets see you get off the forum and your fat arse and see how far you get with your precious
umm nop i'm gonna call it clip from now on cuz i can see how it burns you so
2011s are doublestack, so 45 will hold 10 as well in Canada. once you cross the border as some do for USPSA matches, you get to take the pin out on 9/38 and load up 29

What I meant was, any 1911 can hold as many rounds as any other centerfire pistol, in Canada. Using an after-market 10 shot magazine clip.
A 17 shot Glock clip only makes the grip 2X4ish, without the benifit of holding more rds.
Where as a 10 shot clip magazine on a single stack 1911, may stick out a tad, but the grip still feels the same.
Just went through several references on small arms, current and historic, and read that there was no confusion in the minds of designers and manufacturers regarding the nomenclature of "clips" and "magazines" for rifles or pistols. "Clips" were intended to load "magazines", whether detached or integral in the firearm.
When the M1 Garand was adopted by US, they had been loading the magazines of Springfield '03's with 5 rd stripper clips and magazines for 1911's for decades and were quite clear that they were loading their M1's with an 8 rd "enbloc clip", unique to the design.
Confusing the two is like referring to cartridges as "bullets", the stuff of ill-informed media types, not what you'd expect to hear on a firearms forum.

Then you might also appreciate this quote attributed to Twain:
"Suppose you were a an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but, I repeat myself ...."
"Suppose you were a an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but, I repeat myself ...."
Huh. Where can you buy these clips? I thought I saw one on a news clip the other day, but the end was clipped, so I didn't see the whole clip.What I really need is a new clip for a G17, as I broke one of my clips the other day. I was coming around a corner at the range and clipped the corner, and the cheap plastic broke.
are you the same person that argues 'color' vs 'colour'? do you really have nothing better to do? or is your life just that empty that these small instances of 'feeling like you know way more than others and should correct them every chance you get' make it seem bearable?
how come when someone asks where they can find "strippers" for their (insert rifle here), no one assumes that they are looking for a woman who has trouble keeping her clothes on to pose with his gun?
"no harm no foul" is a favorite quote here, as well as the idea that forcing your views unto others is a leftist agenda ;P
Looking forward to getting my first 1911 so I can see what all the fuss is about. Can't have a worse trigger than the Tokarev or the P-38, and I doubt it'll jam as often as my Mk-II (which needs a new extractor, I suspect), so I doubt my #### will fall off when I don't pay a smith to triple my investment in the thing and just shoot the snot out of it and smile like a fool.

I have a simple solution.
When someone is refering to a stripper clip, call it a "stripper clip". Don't short-form it.
And we'll use clip, clip magazine, mag. and magazine, interchangably.
Actually, I enjoy watching dip####z make fools of themselves by using incorrect terminology in a peer group that prides itself on integrity and knowledge of firearms nomenclature. Publicly flaunting one's wilful ignorance says much about the person.
By all means, continue to exercise your right to do so. Americanize your speech to your heart's content, colo(u)ring your rhetoric with text-speak idiom, writing "checks" as opposed to cheques, etc. And remember to always put those 'bullet' thingys the right way into your 'clips', pointy end facing towards the 'bow' of the 'bang-bang'.

Let's see now.
We're at page 19 of this thread.
Have you got your answer yet Tikka?
It seems like if you buy a 1911,you are a moron,but will love shooting it day after day in ignorant bliss.
You will love the single stage trigger.
But you will still be one of the thousands upon thousands of the unwashed that own one.
I am a shallow individual that loves Colt 1911's.
They make my pulse rise when I hold them and when I shoot them.
Everyone has an opinion, but for my application give me a 1911 and make it a Colt.
I'll take Mary Ann I guess.
Your choice may be Ginger.

I seriously love this thread... another 18 pages is warranted, though it is getting slightly off topic. Oh well!
IMO 1911's are great! I admit it wouldn't be my first choice if someone forced me to choose a pistol to stake my life on but since the odds of that happening are miniscule... All the ones I've shot have been great and haven't had any problems and as a bonus they look good doing it. Classic looks for sure but breaking them down is more tedious...
If I want consistent, reliable functioning under all conditions (while looking ugly doing it) I'll buy a Glock! Oh wait... too late Variety is the spice of life though! (Don't tell my GF that...)

Variety is the spice of life though! (Don't tell my GF that...)If they went door to door selling magazines(clips), in Canada, then they could call them anything they wanted. How sweet would that be?
Yes, I'd like to order 10 Beolf Magazines @$24.95ea, 10 AR 5/30 magazines@10.95ea and 10 Mini 14 magazines @ 14.95ea.
...and don't foget that dozen Beretta 96 magazines@ 18.99ea.
Brilliant! Now we're exercising our 'potty mouth' vocabulary, having flaunted our ignorance on firearms nomenclature and terminology and been called on it. It just keeps getting better ....
Obviously you've never served in the military where they have ways of instilling the use of proper terminology into the thickest of heads; even yours.
