Marines Picks Colt!

Hello Mr. Series 80 Colt. Welcome to the 21st Century. Whats that? You need your wheelchair and oxygen mask? Why yes of course we have them both here for you...

I have both an STI Ranger II and Sig 226 in the stable. I love that STI. 1911 pistols are great. They are truely beautiful and embedded with so much history, mystic and ya they can be really good, but I know which one I would trust my life to. I'm just saying.

Cheers,

O'Kelly's Boys
 
Something is awry here. For 100 years, people have been using Colt handguns for competition, military, police and personal use. People have run far more than 12,000 rounds through their guns. The inferior metallurgy of the WWII era 1911s had lasted so long over the years, some even made it onto the domestic market to be turned into competition guns.

And yet suddenly, one website claims a Colt can't make it to 12,000 rounds without cracking?
I would imagine the guys who put so many thousands of rounds through their commercial Colts would've been mad as hell by now.
A dust cover crack like the one on that site would never happen with a high quality forged gun in so little rounds.
I'm waiting for more info on this one.
 
I think that the cracked colt thing is probably something colt will have rectified long before these guns go into final production. Colt .45's will typically go tens of thousands of rounds without issues. They won the contract so obviously there is more to the story here.
 
Marines pick colt 1911
SAS pick Sig Sauer P226
Isreali special forces choose IWI Jericho
French foreign legion picks HK USP
The KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte (Special Forces Command Germany) picks HK P8

The US marines are the be all and end all when it comes to firearms choices I guess.
