[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2158375, member: 42"] Didn't hate it, just didn't like it. It was never about 1911 vs. M9 for me, or most others. The 1911 has been out of regular service since before nearly everyone currently on active duty today (When I first joined, we were issued .38 revolvers). The M9 is clunky, has a long first round DA trigger pull, inconsistent trigger pull between first and subsequent rounds, the ergonomics don't match commonly accepted/practiced methods of slide manipulation under stress etc... But like loudshirt said, it is durable and suitable for [I]mass[/I] issue to grunts who are pretty good at breaking stuff. [/QUOTE]
