I think that that's enough to make me want a 1911! :) (Well, I wanted one anyways, but that's still pretty good)
As for guns that fire when I pull the trigger, yeah, I like that. But, I don't like the fact that a Glock might just fire when you holster it. That's one thing that I like about the SA XD. The grip safety. When I try to shoot the gun, I don't even really notice that it's there. When I go to holster it or something, I just try to take my hand off of the safety and put my thumb up on the slide or elsewhere. Sure, if the gun goes off I may break my thumb, but, the chances of that are probably less than the chance of shooting yourself in the leg, and the consequences a lot less serious even if the chances are the same.
Now, about 1911s. I've seen some really tight 1911s, mainly, the Wilson Combat ones. Are these reliable, or does the tightness make then lockup a la M16 when some sand gets in the action? Is it actually better to have a slightly looses weapon? I realize that cleaning your guns will make it work, and I fully intend to. What I'm wondering about is, lets say I'm shooting in a dust storm. I don't think an M16, if cleaned before the storm, is going to lock up right away. Will one of the super tight 1911s lock up soon after the dust storm starts?
