I was expecting a lot out of my 1911 handgun as its such a popular model, and admitidly its one of my nicest guns to shoot. But my god its also the biggest pain in the ass to field strip too. Cant even do it without a few handtools...

@freemo I did a handgun-off one day back when. We brought everything. The colt government 1911. Two glocks, the 23 (compact .40) and 17 (full frame 9mm) a sig 2022 (compact 40) a Ruger mark 2 .22, a Smith and Wesson .357, and a Beretta 92 9mm and probably a couple of others I don't remember.

Surprisingly the best gun of the day in a unanimous vote was the Beretta. That thing was great. It shot where you pointed it every single time.

The Glocks are easiest to strip and clean by far tho.

@rchrd My baretta 92x performancd defensive is my best overall, adustable trigger easy breakdown, customizatiomn options, and hits the target.

Now if all i care about is shooting id say my kimber 1911 is a very close second.

@rchrd Yea its great. the drawback seems to be int he 1911 design in general, just not easy to field strip.. otherwise seems like a nice platform and amazing when the kimber makes it.
