d0lphin2 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I know that the 1911 is benchmark for the American pistol. Forgive me for asking a crazy question but is biggest selling point of a 1911 compared to another pistol of equal calibre or price? Simplicity or reliability? Simplicity & Reiability in it's original form and the 100 year history of the design. The fact that it is available in 3", 4", 4.25", 5" & 6" doesn't hurt either. It is like Harley-Davidson in some sense because people are either dedicated to them or they aren't. It is also easily the most modifiable pistol on the market so you can make it what fits your wants and needs. They run in price from $300 to $3,000 or more depending on what you want. It's biggest selling point is that people gravitate to them and want them IMO. There are plenty of good choices for everyone in every flavor and caliber of pistol but if they aren't a 1911 they aren't. Guess that makes sense. 1911 It makes sense. It almost sounds like the different 1911 pistol configurations could cause the same addiction as the saiga's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
