But it's not a Colt.

Why would we talk about an old, antiquated round?

I remember a story Elmer Keith wrote about a gunfight involving one shooter with a 9 mm and the other with a 45 Colt.

From what I read Elmer liked revolvers a lot better than semi autos.

Neither is this one, but I'd rather have it than any Colt made...

You must be referring to the 9mm, which came out before the 45 ACP.

Colt sucks.

 

[Hashh]

there are tons of 1911 makers out there! You got your Colt, the OG knock-off from Browning's genius. But there are also a bunch of copies and clones floating around. Some swear by the vintage Ser. 70 Gov, while others dig different metal options. MIM internals? Nah, not my thing either. It's cool to see how each brand puts their own spin on it. So keep on searching for the perfect 1911 that fits your vibe

First trans-pistol? Is it called the Jenner?

All 1911s are knock-offs of the Browning-designed Colt 1910. Note: No thumb safety.

I've seen it said several times now that the 1911 is a knock-off of a Browning design. How is it possible to "knock-off" your own design?

Isn't that a bit like saying a Gen4 Glock is a knock-off of a Gen3 Glock? Maybe I'm just not getting the joke...

One is a knock off of the Browning, one is a knock off of the 1911

1911 is a knock off of the 1905 Browning, yes? Anyhoo the Colt Combat Commander rules ... And John Moses did say when He returned from the mountain.. "Thus sayeth The Lord, thou shalt have no other autos beside Me... and the people then said 'Amen' and there was much rejoicing"...
