Question of the Day: Do You Have a 1911?

When I want to shoot a target that’s 25 yards out, the maximum range at the American Firearms School, I get out my 60’s era Jim Clark Customs Bowling Pin 1911. Or my FFL guy’s Kimber. Or any other 1911 that’s hanging around. While I’d never carry a 1911 (was that safety first, last or somewhere in between?), I can’t think of a better handgun for putting seven or eight bullets through the same hole. OK, maybe a .22 Volquartsen Scorpion. Or a Smith & Wesson 686 in single action. Or . . . never mind. If you don’t get the 1911 you should. Get one, I mean. At least.
