I'm a 1911 guy. I tried a few other pistols first with little success.
Had a Beretta 92, then a Ruger P90, then a G21...then shot a 1911 and LOVED it. It fit me, it shot well, it was good looking...it was everything to me. I've been shooting them for the last 6 or so years.
Then I did something. I bought a Browning Hi Power.
I think I'm converting. It almost perfect. It may be perfect. Since I was a 1911 fanboy I was obviously a 45 fanboy. Didnt really care about capacity either as I shot well with it. But taking the Hi Power to the range, I shoot (slowly) as well with the HP as I do the 1911. I can be on target faster with the HP...and keep shooting longer too (double stack, and cheaper ammo). I havent gotten to the point yet of carrying it but I really think I am headed that way. I've enjoyed the HP way more than I thought I would and I had pretty high expectations for it.
(I actually bought two. The blued/wood one is for "originality"..the black/silver is the one I shoot the heck out of and will probably start carrying).
