Are 1911s magical?
or is the mystique based mostly on their historical significance and enduring engineering. I do think it is a great and don't want to come across as sounding like I don't respect the pistol, but I am wandering if I would gain much by getting into one.
My current .45 is a IWI baby desert eagle semi compact with a steel frame ( like a Jericho 941). I am very happy with it but I just have that nagging feeling that I am missing something.
I am mostly interested in accuracy and usability, because 1911 durability is not up for debate.
Am I missing anything?

Attend a group shoot and ask to see if someone will let you shoot their 1911, that is the best way. (FWIW< after I did this, I ran and bought one when money came my way)
In order to get intelligent answers you must speak intelligently.

Yes, 1911's are magical and the .45 ACP is the hammer of Thor.
Well that's what I heard anyway...
Seriously though, I don't know that the 1911 is really superior to a number of other pistols. It has a particular feel and feature set that many shooters like, myself included. It also has a huge array of aftermarket add ons available to customize it. Try one and see if it appeals to you.

I once heard that Wyatt Earp himself held off an entire raging horde of aliens from Beatlegeuse with his 1911. If that ain't magic, I don't know what is.

Yes.
If you need to ask, you do not understand. Reminds me of the Buddhist saying: "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."Last edited by ShooterInPA1; May 19th, 2012 at 07:41 PM.

It’s the only handgun that ever sank a Battleship and killed a charging elephant on the same day.

1911's won't reveal their magical powers to just anyone. You have to have a bond with the 1911, and then you will experience the magic.
