The truth about 1911 45ACPs.
I've fired one or two 1911s recently and think I prefer them to a 9mm. When.... I'm alowed to purchase a handgun (here in New Zealand there are LOTS of rules and regulations to get through to be able to buy a handgun) I'm thinking I'd like a 1911. 9mm handguns seem to have too much muzzle velocity and make too much noise, whereas a 45 seems a bigger softer round.
But, if 1911 45ACPs are so good why are people always modifying them, when people don't seem to modify a 9mm or any other gun that much.
And, if they can be modified and parts swapped, are all the bits much the same fit such as barrrel, slide, magazine etc?
