M1911A2

Why didn't anyone tell me there was a new and improved version of the venerable M1911A1?  I'd  have bought 4 or 5 by now.  THE 1911 for the 21st Century.  Poor S&W, I guess they are gonna lose the pistol contract to Detonics.

Snark aside, I am half intrigued.  Love to play with one.  I am too jaded.

But wait!  Beretta, late of Maryland, is ready with an offer of their own!   

So, Smith and Wesson M&P45, a now new M9, and a clearly superior to all the rest except for the plastic bits 1911A2 with a double stack...

    The M1911A2 concept was old news three decades ago. Check out this proposal by Dick Thomas.

    Well, you folks need to invite me to the planning meetings more often.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
