[Superman]

Interesting. Well as I say, I am open to the possibility of a non-1911. Having said that, the 1911 is still the front-runner. Besides time-honored reliability the 1911 has safety features I like. I'm not very trusting or casual about firearms. Again, my experience has been with rifles and it's in this context you need to understand the next remark. I have never, ever, transported a loaded weapon. Ever. The idea of having a weapon on my person that's got a cartridge in the chamber and the hammer is drawn......well......I'm not yet comfortable with that. I like the 1911 for its safety features. I like the ducktail safety PLUS the manual safety.

The Detonics seems kinda small and in an article, there was much discussion about ammunition that is reputed to NOT work well in them, jamming happening for some folks and not for others and springs that should be replaced frequently to increase reliability. I want this gun to have reliability similar to a sledgehammer. Gravity. I want this gun to be as reliable as gravity.
