Tom,

I agree with all your sentiments on the 1911-A1. It is THE combat handgun to me also. I don't need all the fancy abidextrious stuff, the double action, or the large capacity magazines. I can use either hand to fire with, I can **** the hammer ina milisecond, and I can change a magazine quickly too! A combat handgun was for defense and you should know when it may be required. I considered it may last defensive measure and the old .45 never let me down!

As to the late unpleasentness in Southeast Asia, I still prefer the AK-47 over the M-16 for that type warfare.
