1911s Suck!

[grim1U]

You have no idea what you are talking about......

RIA's are cheaper than most pistols and work just as well as any other... NTM you can get a match grade 1911 for $1000.... Ugh....

Um, ok, I've owned about 14 different 1911's pistols in as many years, in 9mm-.45 ACP ranging from $500-$2500+ new, off the shelf, semi-custom, custom and built-up But your right, I absolutely have no idea what I'm talking about

Don't make me laugh about the "Match Grade" gimick companies try to sell us on.

You can take a bottom basement SA 1911 A1 or Norinco and have it built into an awesome gun, but just because a bottom basement or middle of the road gun shoots a few hundred rounds in the begining with out problems, or only a few problems doesn't make them great.

But, like you said, what do I know.

ok - I get it about the 1911/Glock part - each their own.... I think Yeager made some good points. Anyway - how the hell are we supposed to know whether its Yeager running?! Im not saying he didnt...just seems to be taken as a foregone conclusion...posted AAR...from where?

You clearly don't know or else you wouldn't have posted what you did in the first place. But thanks for the rebuttal, it reads like you spent a lot of time contemplating what you would write.

Exactly! He's the armed response guy. He had to make a video defending his use of putting someone in-between two targets while people shot at it so the photographer could get good footage and shots. I'm not giving him the youtube hit or publicity.

Thanks! I was trying to remember why I knew this guy was an idiot.

Where can I get that shirt?

I'm not going to bad mouth this guy....I skimmed over the incident and reminded of all the great people we have in our military dealing with those animals over there. God bless every one of them.

Now....for the shirt. I'm sorry....but I think it's cool.....if your a half wit dirt bag attending community college cause that's the only way your mom will let you live at home rent free......and its two sizes too small for my five year old.

And I've owned many sports cars; does that make me an expert on long-term reliability?

His opinion was formed based upon 15 MILLION rounds of ammunition run through 15,000 pistols, many of them 1911s, so until someone can top that, his data seems pretty concrete. The fact that people go after his dress only confirms that they don't have any real data to go toe-to-toe with his. I'm not sure who's more childish, someone who wears a goofy shirt, or people who point at the shirt as "why" his statements are wrong.

As I posted earlier, I think he is on the mark with regards to 1911's being poor when built on a production line and glocks being superior in that regard. However, I can't take a man who is using his resume to bolster and support his claims when his resume is piss poor and doesn't support it. I wouldn't take tactical advice from a guy who didnt employ those sound measures when the time called for it. I don't follow the do what i say not what I do crowd. I don't care about his dress or appearance. That is just what some have chosen to focus on.

ok...im not trying to argue, it was a legitimate question...men in this field study different scenarios and practice what they teach...so if someone here, not necessarily YOU, had any experience in such situations...that maybe they can chime in on what THEY would have done?

if everything is a matter of opinion then its quite hard to SAY what ANYOnE of us would have done in that situation

im not defending yeager, if someone has better knowledge and/or experience please chime in

Armored vehicles have one purpose. They give you a few protected moments to drive away from the threat.

In an unarmored vehicle you have less time but the goal is the same. Get away from the threat.

The driver in the AAR delayed his get away time by placing the car in neutral and setting the e brake. The driver also fled the vehicle leaving co workers behind instead of driving away.

It seems clear that the driver should not have placed the vehicle in neutral and driven away when the shooting started.

Whoa, hold your horse's chief, I never said anything against James Yeager's video or his opinion on the 1911. In an earlier post, I stated my own opinion that is somewhat inline with his, I have no dog in this fight as far as James Yeager, so don't turn my post into something it's not.

Are you kidding me, because I can write in an easily understood manner and wish to explain myself I now I spend to much time contemplating what I would write. And I'm the one who doesn't know what I'm talking about.

I atleast made the attempt to explain the fact that I have used and owned a "few" 1911's and that I did not base my OPINION on just one or two I tried.

And what about your rebuttal, you've failed to explain yourself or anything other than to say, "...your wrong."

But, in the end, our opinions are just that, our opinions.

This ****en guy again??? With the shirts?? lol

Jeez, once a month on here.

next nobody can have an correct opnion on Obama as prez cause our reseme is not as vast, after all non of us have been prez before so we can't ever talk cause we don't know.......we never walked in Obamas shoes so we don't know crap,lol

no more badmouthing McCarthy or Polozi or boxer either, we have never done there jobs!

[fullspeed1]

Another reason why California is so f'n special. A bunch of tactical desk jockeys with hurt feelings criticizing a successful business man because of his opinion and his attire. I can guarantee you that James is most likely the one laughing because guess who's tied down by 10rd mags, Bullet buttons and f'd up anti 2A. Ask any Calgunner what His/her's experience with Tactical Response has been, Then take a class from them, Then you can speak your minds.....We are all guilty of forming our own biased opinions, And thats exactly what they are, Opinions. The world still turns no matter what one person says. In the end people will shoot what they want.
