My Dept Head in Sugar Grove, WV was on the Navy Shooting Team and had a 1911 with a weighted barrel. Talk about a difference between night and day. I liked his competition 1911. The issue one sucked.

When I was in the USMC we had the 1911's - that had the stopping power you need.&nbsp; Even if you winged someone it would knock-em down.&nbsp;That is a plus, gives you the time to get into a better tactical cover position to finish the job if needed.
