Prom night, and she is the envy of every girl and the center of attention of every guy. All eyes are on her, she is alluring, and classic in her beauty.  Don’t doubt it for a second, she CAN dance!  Star quarterback’s girlfriend? NO sir, we are talking about the Springfield 1911 A1, and if I may take a bit of poetic license here, she is the most popular girl at the dance!

John Browning’s 1911 single action, semi–auto handgun won't only go down in history as one of the most produced and widely used handguns of all time, it continues to be the handgun of choice for many sports shooters and militaries around the world. The 1911 A1 was in service in the US Military from 1924 until 1990 and is still carried by some special forces and ops units today. Springfield Armories reformed in 1974 to continue the legacy of their earlier production models, and with a renewed passion and commitment to quality, again began offering fine firearms including the 1911 A1.

There is no lack of wardrobe or accessories available for a 1911. They can be, and are regularly customized in just about every possible configuration and add on.  From customized triggers to supressors, match barrels to custom slides and grips, the 1911 with its naked beauty, can dress in everything from designer clothing to utility uniforms with style.  Just as the queen of the ball stops all conversation when she enters the room, the stopping power of a .45 caliber, 230 grain, full metal jacket round fired from a 5” match grade barrel packs a punch that grabs serious attention!

Our 1911, with its stainless alloy finish, and etched wood grip is both beautiful and deadly.  Though the frame is heavy, the grip is sure, and the recoil is nicely absorbed by the weight of the gun. It is a joy to shoot.  With ambidextrous safety, easy to reach slide release, crisp, though a bit heavy trigger pull, I loved shooting it! The only down side for me was the weight of it, though this is both a plus and a minus, the weight dampens the recoil  and it feels good in my hand,  but as a woman I would find it way too bulky and heavy for a carry gun.  I'm just not big enough to carry this large a pistol concealed and not have it print.  Yeah, yeah, for you big boys, no problem... but as cliché as it's, I would have to ask, “Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me boys!?”

I found the A1 accurate, tight, and reliable. I was able to group more than adequately for anything I would need for a home self-defense gun. Composites are great and light to carry, but they don’t have the feel or threatening look of a 1911.  While we could debate the merits of each, the way wine connoisseurs might argue over their whites and reds, one thing is for sure; When you hold a 1911 A1 from Springfield in your hand, you ARE going to say, “Oh Baby! That is a pistol!”  -Anna

I recently had to switch to shooting handguns left handed. I use a Rock Island Armory 1911. Great choice in firearms. You are one beautiful young lady. Good luck with whatever you want to do.
