That sounds like secondhand information, for all I know he could be running around the country with Elvis.

I forgot about that movie. I thought it was actually really funny.

A 1911 is like any other complex machine. It requires maintenance and service. You can use oil or grease. You can use super sophisticated lubricants. Remember the 1911 was first adopted by the military back in 1911. They didn't have super fancy lubricants back then and the 1911 served for over 100 years with just general lubricants.
Changing the springs and tuning the extractor are just as important. If you keep a 1911 in working order it will save your life. When the Army switched to the Beretta, I remember stories of active GIs stationed around the world contacting their parents or spouses asking them to send them a 1911 because the Beretta just didn't cut it. The Marines recently switched back to the 1911. You may be a Ford guy or a Chevy guy, but the fact that our military guys and girls still rely on a 100 year old design for protection is good enough for me.

The Marines switched back to 1911s ?
Pretty sure that is not correct.
They are currently using the Sig Sauer M17 and 18.
And ...this is a serious question, why are 1911 guys so hell bent on saying the 1911 won WW1 and WW2 ? Didn't the Atom Bomb do that?

There were atom atom bombs in WW1? Also don't recall any being used in the European theater of WW2.

...Like John Belushi in Animal House said "was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"...

I’m guessing the reference is to the M45A1 or the MEU(SOC) variant issued or available for issue.

USMC also issues the M11, M007 (G19), M9 and variant) alongside the M17/18 for now.

It’ll be a while, if ever, before the USMC only issues the Sig.




Keep Calm and RTFU

Not going to argue what won the wars, but WWII was won before the atom bomb was dropped. In order to insure an unconditional surrender by the Japanese the atom bombs were used.

I'm not arguing what won either war.
I just think it is a silly comment.
Hell I could claim. The Willis jeep won WW2...

It did, too

Germans: lets build these wonder weapons that take up money, time, resources, manpower, all of which we can't actually spare and at that, killed as many people MAKING them as they killed on impact and explosions.
Americans: or we could paddle our landing boats and jeeps across the Channel, and pound the shit out of y'all in a much more personal fashion, like with these here 1911s!
