What more classic backup gun is there than the M1911A1, beloved by GIs as a backup to their M1 Carbines, M1 Garands, BARs, and tanks? Today I'm running an April 1945 production original military M1911A1 at the match.

The 1911 is not a beginner's pistol, but it can certainly deliver if you can run it!

The unavailability of factory ammunition (for most, although not so much for the Trapdoor) makes them seem like a ...
