While I agree that 1911's are the coolest thing since bleu cheese and I've owned several, I carry a Beretta 92FS with no apology (and I'm a retired PI with my own Da Nang hat, even ).
I find that the grip-to-barrel angle provides a more natural point-to-aim than the 1911 (at least it does for me). I can present the Beretta from the holster with my eyes closed, open them, and find the sights in perfect alignment, and the pistol shoots flawlessly right to the POA. Why carry a gun that requires re-training muscle memory for that feature?
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
